KLANG — Selangor Ruler, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, has expressed his deepest gratitude to the entire workforce of Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana), MRCB, and all parties directly and indirectly involved in the successful construction and operation of the LRT3 Shah Alam Line.
The Ruler was briefed that throughout the project’s execution, more than 13,000 individuals contributed their labor, expertise, and unwavering commitment to bringing the Shah Alam Line to fruition.
At any given time, an average workforce of 8,000 personnel labored across various sites, disciplines, and specialized roles. Their collective effort formed the backbone crucial to realizing this major rail infrastructure project.
This diverse workforce comprised project directors, engineers, supervisors, technicians, skilled laborers, construction workers, safety officers, logistics teams, administrators, and support staff—both Malaysians and foreign workers—each playing an indispensable role in the project’s triumph.
“Many of them worked long hours under challenging conditions, often separated from their families, to ensure the project progressed safely, on schedule, and up to the established standards.
“While the stations, tracks, and trains are the visible outcomes seen by the public, the true success of this project lies in the dedication, professionalism, and spirit of the over 13,000 individuals who dedicated their energy and expertise throughout its construction,” the Sultan said.
Yesterday, His Royal Highness experienced the LRT3 firsthand, taking a ride from the Bandar Utama station in Petaling Jaya to Johan Setia in Klang. He was accompanied by the Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor, Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin, and the Raja Muda of Selangor, Tengku Amir Shah.
The Sultan expressed his gratitude that the long-awaited public transportation project has finally become a reality. He noted that it will significantly elevate the people’s quality of life, alleviate traffic congestion, and provide a modern, comfortable, and sustainable mobility system.
In the statement, His Royal Highness also expressed his anticipation for the completion of five previously deferred stations—Tropicana, Temasya, Raja Muda, Bukit Raja, and Bandar Botanik—which will be reinstated and constructed for the benefit of nearby residents.
Sultan Sharafuddin urged the public to fully utilize this train service, hoping it serves as a catalyst for a robust public transportation culture to foster a sustainable and high-quality mobility system for the future. – July 14, 2026
