New developments to share

Is that a hint on where the new RTS would land, away from speculated location?
Probably a series of mega projects... Lets speculate.
1) major theme park
2) high speed rail link
I would put my stake on High Speed Rail Link, cos
a) it does not depend on Singapore side to approve, just end it at JB MRT link
b) the High Speed Rail will benefit the entire corridor stretch to Kuala Lumpur, which is important for its election votes
c) the final feasibility study supposed to end sometime this month, the next stage would be calling for tender
d) last but not least... I am vested in KL and JB !!!

Latest from Putrajaya.....
PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak believed the newly launched Iskandar Malaysia Low Carbon Society (LCS) Blueprint has the potential to attract more interest among investors at Iskandar Malaysia as an investment destination.
The prime minister had endorsed the launch of the LCS blueprint at the 13th Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA) members of authorities (MoA) meeting here today.
"Today, the MoA members endorsed the launch of LCS blueprint and we believe this effort has reinforced the investor value proposition of Iskandar Malaysia and would certainly spur the interest and attraction of even more investments into Malaysia," said Najib.
The blueprint, which was launched at the 18th session of the Conference of parties (COP18) in Doha on Nov 30, has outlined 12-point execution plan to lower Iskandar Malaysia's carbon intensity emissions by 50 per cent once it reaches maturity in 2025.
Such an initiative has brought together a team of multidisciplinary local and foreign researchers from Kyoto University,
the National Institute of Environmental Studies of Okayama University and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia with a view to defining LCS visions and crafting a road map towards LCS at the national and city-regional level.
This is in line with the country's voluntary commitment to reduce its carbon intensity by up to 40 per cent within eight years (based on 2005 levels) and the research project began with a pilot study of Iskandar Malaysia.
IRDA chief executive, Datuk Ismail Ibrahim said the 12 actions outlined in the blueprint would start being implemented in the first quarter of 2013.
Through the LCS research project (2011-2015), the Malaysia and Japanese research teams have come up with substantial research findings that IRDA has now interpreted into policies that can be implemented-policies and proposals that are both workable and bankable

Actually there's already a project on KTM Double track and Electrification connecting JB to Padang Besar. The Seremban - Gemas section is currently on going while the Gemas to Johore Baru section is due to complete by 2016. It may not be as fast as HSR but it is definitely faster than normal train.

In Malaysia this is called Syiok sendiri (make your ownself syiok). BN and esp UMNO politicians are fond of doin so thinking it will milk them good points and publicity
