Kuala lumpur: Efforts to strengthen the country's public transport system, as announced under Budget 2026, will benefit the people as a whole, according to Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana).

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Prasarana welcomed the initiative and stated that the allocation of RM1 billion for the replacement of 26 new train sets for the Kelana Jaya LRT Line was timely, as it was the busiest route in the Klang Valley and a vital artery for daily mobility.

Prasarana also highlighted the government's support for the Shah Alam LRT Line, which is nearing operational readiness, as well as the Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS Link service, expected to commence by January 1, 2027.

The allocation for procuring 100 special mobility vans for Persons with Disabilities (PwD) aligns with Prasarana's aspiration to provide the best service to all Malaysians. Prasarana aims to enhance operational efficiency by focusing on infrastructure improvement, system upgrades, and continuous service enhancement to ensure a safer, more comfortable, and reliable travel experience.

Budget 2026, tabled by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in Parliament today, represents the fourth MADANI Budget, themed 'Belanjawan Rakyat' (A Budget for the People), and serves as the first Budget under the 13th Malaysia Plan, which will guide the country's development over the next five years.
