He said the transport ministry will work with Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) on the project.

“The station will undergo enhancements to make it more modern, efficient, and seamlessly connected to the surrounding areas.

“These enhancements will involve upgrades, redesigns, repurposing, and rebuilding aimed at achieving a higher level of sophistication and modernity,” he told reporters after launching the opening of Menara Sentral RAC here today.

Loke said the redevelopment through a public-private partnership had received Cabinet approval in principle last August.

Project developer MRCB will undertake the redevelopment with a budget exceeding RM1 billion at no cost to the government.

“Discussions with the public-private partnership unit in the Prime Minister’s Department are underway,” he said.

Loke also said the upgraded KL Sentral area will include a link to all buildings, to improve public mobility and access.

“This interconnected network will enable smooth transitions between different points within the area, ultimately making navigation more convenient and effortless for the public,” he said.
