WE complain our mattress is too hard, or the fan is busted, the air-conditioning needs servicing, and so on...

Yet, there are some who would welcome a chance to rest upon the hard mattress, in a room with or without a fan or air- conditioning.

Like this vagrant sleeping on the cold, hard, filthy cement pavement at Puduraya in Kuala Lumpur. Perhaps somewhere there is a family waiting for his return, perhaps there isn't.

ALL is set for Puduraya to be the landmark of KL after its upgrading works are completed by the end of next year.

UDA managing director Datuk Jaafar Abu Hassan said yesterday the company welcomed the Prime Minister's comments to upgrade the building for the comfort of the people.

MONEY that is invested in development must not only be spent to cater to present needs, it must also take into account future needs so that projects undertaken do not become obsolete.

A total of RM30.3 million is to be spent to refurbish the oldest bus terminal  in the city and work is scheduled
to be completed by the end of next year.

 

BARELY a fortnight after announcing the Integrated Transport Terminal-Southern Sector (ITT-S) in Bandar Tasik  Selatan would be turned into a hub for all inter-State bus services, Minister in the Prime Ministers Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has reversed his decision.

"I admit I was wrong. The era where the government knows best has ended. There is no point in making a decision and being stubborn in not wanting to retract earlier statements."

BUYING bus tickets at  Puduraya is still far from a  pleasant experience, made worse by overzealous ticket sellers who harass would-be passengers before they get a chance to even step into the bus terminal.

An irate passenger had complained to Malay Mail that a number of bus operators' staff are annoying the

PUDURAYA will remain.

 

EXPRESS bus operators who have ticketing counters opposite Puduraya have been having a running battle with City Hall.

 

TRAFFIC congestion around the Puduraya bus terminal could be cut by almost half in the coming months — with the new traffic dispersal proposal by the Federal Territories Ministry.

Last Saturday, Federal Territories Minister Datuk Raja Nong Chik Raja Zainal Abidin announced three strategic steps to reduce congestion in the area.

AN award-winning inventor is going all out to put an end to traffic congestion in the city.

C.W Liew, 57, has dedicated the last two years walking around the city in an attempt to identify the causes of traffic jams.

Armed with a camera, pen, paper and measuring tools, Liew has spent hours on our busy streets.
