VERSUS

I haven't decided though...

One of the so-called economic marvels at the Economic Transformation Programme Exhibition (ETP) is the high-speed train (either a bullet one or Maglev) from Penang to KL then to Singapore.

Photo provided by TWK who visited the ETP today.

The proposed high speed train will definitely bring Penangites plus KLites much closer to the casino resorts of Singapore...

...and my female friends much closer to the waste spend money paradise of Orchard Road.

Also, a very good news for my neighbourhood's aunties.

Going to Resorts World Sentosa in about 2 hours+ will be as short as going for a full body massage!

In 2007, YTL Corp had proposed a bullet train from KL to Singapore.

Singaporeans too can now come to Penang or KL to find unhealthy-cum-delicious mamak food as regular as once a week.

And probably they can buy more pirated DVDs from Petaling Street too. LOL =)

Besides the official launch of iPhone 4 in Malaysia this coming week, Paris and Nicky Hilton will also be coming to our shores.

YAY!

Blurrrpppp... wait a minute?

Is that Paris Hilton's pink-coloured boat arriving in Port Klang today?

[UPDATED]

In conjunction with Malaysia Day today,

PATCHAY.COM presents a video of the upcoming KLIA 2, or commonly referred as the New Low-Cost Carrier Terminal.

KLIA 2 is slated to be ready by April 2012 and with 242,000 sq metre of space it would be the largest purpose-built dedicated terminal for low-cost carriers in the world. The terminal will also have a significant area for shopping and dining.

The 2.5 billion ringgit KLIA 2 will feature Asia's first pedestrian skybridge in an airport. The skybridge will connect the international pier and the domestic pier.

KLIA 2 is located 2km away from KLIA Main Terminal Building and could accommodate up to 30-35 million passengers annually, and with future expansion, could handle up to 45 million passengers a year.

It has a total of 68 boarding gates, most of which will be serving its anchor tenant, that is the AirAsia Group.

By end of 2013, the AirAsia Group is expected to have a fleet of more than 180 planes.

The widely debated aerobridge feature is still pending negotiations between Malaysia Airports and AirAsia, and there is no confirmation whether there would be an aerotrain link between KLIA and KLIA 2.

A dedicated runway for KLIA 2 is currently under construction.

KLIA 2 would have an integrated transport hub, connecting various modes of transportation such as taxis and buses. It will also be linked by an Express Rail Link extension line, besides a possible link to the nearest KTM.

Other facilities include a semi-automated baggage handling system, support zones, cargo and inflight complexes, a 6,000-vehicle parking complex, a hotel (possibly a new Tune Hotel) and AirAsia's future headquarters.

*** THE END ***

Finally, my hometown of Damansara Utama is getting ready for a much needed makeover.

Developer, See Hoy Chan, is finalising details of a new commercial precinct, provisionally known as Damansara Uptown 2.

In the past, it is also believed that several proposals of a new light-rail transit line (LRT), or rather the new mass rapid transit line (MRT), had suggested Damansara Uptown as one of the stop.

According to sources, the development plans of the new Damansara Uptown 2 consist of :-

- 1 block of 6-storey *Luxury* Shopping Mall with convention centre facilities
- 1 block of 20-storey Serviced Apartment
- 1 block of 28-storey Condominium
- 2 blocks of 30-storey Condominium
- 1 block of 43-storey 'Grade A' Office Tower
- 4 levels of Basement Carpark

Despite criticism of bad traffic in that area, the new development is poised to further rejuvenate Damansara Uptown into a bustling and modern commercial centre of Petaling Jaya.
