After years of delays and uncertainty, <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/12/lrt3-33-problems-identified-solutions-ready-tests-ongoing" target="_blank" style="">the long-awaited LRT3 Shah Alam Line is finally nearing the finish line, with operations expected to begin by June</a> at the latest and possibly as early as April.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the June timeline set by asset owner <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/12/lrt3-wont-launch-this-year-as-glitches-persist-no-new-date-set" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Prasarana Malaysia Bhd</a> is a conservative one, expressing confidence that the new rail line could be ready sooner if all final tests go smoothly. He shared the update during a radio interview on Feb 5, offering reassurance to commuters who have been waiting for the project since construction began almost a decade ago.

The LRT3 line was originally slated to start running in October last year, but Loke said the delay was unavoidable as safety checks and technical testing had to be prioritised. According to him, the most crucial phase in the entire process is the Fault-Free Run (FFR), a stringent test that requires each train to operate for at least 4,000km without encountering a single technical fault.“Unfortunately, during testing in November and December, we ran into software and signalling issues"What makes the process especially challenging is that any fault, no matter how minor, forces the test to restart from zero, even if the train had already clocked thousands of kilometres," Loke said.
The good news, however, is that progress has picked up. Loke said the first batch of more than 20 trains designated for the LRT3 line has already successfully passed the Fault-Free Run. The remaining trains are currently undergoing the same testing process, and once all trial runs are completed, the ministry will give the green light for operations to begin.

Stretching 37.8km, the LRT3 Shah Alam Line connects Bandar Utama in Petaling Jaya to Johan Setia in Klang, running through key areas in the western corridor of the Klang Valley. Once operational, it is expected to benefit around two million residents, providing a long-needed public transport alternative in areas that have traditionally relied heavily on private vehicles.The LRT3 project has had a long and bumpy journey. Construction began in 2016, but progress was slowed by major restructuring of work packages, followed by disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Over the years, multiple launch deadlines were missed, with the opening pushed back from 2020 to March 2025, and later to October 2025, before being delayed again due to technical challenges.
Once in service, the line is expected to ease traffic congestion, improve connectivity between Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and Klang, and encourage more people to switch to public transport.

After years of delays, the LRT3 Shah Alam Line could finally begin operations in June, pending final safety tests.

For Malaysians who cross the border regularly, this could mean shorter queues, more predictable travel times, and less stress during peak hours, while also reducing congestion on the Causeway.

Each train is designed to carry over 600 passengers, with a peak capacity of 10,000 commuters per hour per direction. At launch, <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/06/first-rts-link-train-set-delivered-ahead-of-2026-launch" target="_blank">the system will operate eight trains, with departures starting at 6am and the last train leaving at midnight. </a>Trains will run as frequently as every 3.6 minutes during peak times, offering commuters flexibility and convenience.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the Cabinet has already agreed in principle to the creation of the board, but a dedicated law is required before it can be fully implemented.He said the Bill is currently being drafted, with preparatory work nearing completion following discussions with various ministries and agencies. These talks are focused on ensuring the new board can function effectively without duplicating existing roles. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21520/16825137/conversions/lorry-accident-00-full_normal-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16825137" alt="lorry-accident-00-full_normal.jpg"> One of the main challenges, Loke noted, is the need to integrate or restructure the responsibilities of current bodies such as the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) and the Air Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB). This process must align with the government’s stance, as well as that of the Public Service Department, against significantly expanding the number of civil service positions.The aim, he said, is to minimise the financial burden on the government while ensuring transport safety oversight is properly coordinated under a single framework. Balancing these considerations has been one of the key hurdles in <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/10/over-7000-commercial-vehicle-safety-audits-completed-loke" target="_blank">setting up the MTSB</a>. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21520/16825138/conversions/2025-MOT-MTSB-JPJ--full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16825138" alt="2025-MOT-MTSB-JPJ-.jpg"> Loke was speaking during his winding-up speech on the motion of thanks for the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/08/malaysian-transport-safety-board-proposal-back-on-table-mot" target="_blank">Royal Address for the Ministry of Transport</a> in the Dewan Rakyat.In a separate matter, the minister rejected claims that the Ministry of Transport had sidelined or discriminated against certain state governments in infrastructure development. He said the ministry has never closed the door to negotiations, including on projects involving ports and related facilities. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21520/16825139/conversions/Lorry-road-accident-1260x709-full_normal-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16825139" alt="Lorry-road-accident-1260x709-full_normal.jpg"> Any perception of unfair treatment, he added, is largely due to misunderstandings over how projects are approved. Loke said that if there are genuine needs, such as funding challenges for critical infrastructure like breakwaters, these issues should be raised with the ministry so they can be discussed and resolved through proper channels.

The government, he added, wants to see more manufacturers move towards local assembly and greater localisation of automotive components. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21519/16825132/conversions/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-4.43.05-PM-(2)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16825132" alt="WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-4.43.05-PM-(2).jpg"> Scale, exports and volume remain central to that ambition. Malaysia currently produces about 800,000 vehicles a year, but Johari said building a globally competitive ecosystem would be difficult without surpassing the one-million-unit mark.&nbsp;On hybrids, he said the ministry remains open to proposals and discussions from industry players.This was the new MITI minister’s first public automotive engagement, yet key policy uncertainties that have unsettled the industry for months were left untouched. Chief among them is the evolving interpretation of the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2026/01/mitis-rm250k-new-cbu-ev-rule-just-got-tighter-includes-models" target="_blank">RM250,000 floor price for new CBU EV models</a>. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21519/16825134/conversions/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-5.35.24-PM-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16825134" alt="WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-5.35.24-PM.jpg"> Was this an indirect attempt to justify a ruling aimed at shielding CKD players? A RM250,000 on-the-road minimum would effectively shut out a wave of entry-level and mid-market EVs scheduled for launch this year, significantly narrowing consumer choice at a critical stage of adoption.This brings the discussion back to a more fundamental issue. What exactly is Malaysia’s long-term EV roadmap, particularly for CKD offerings beyond 2027? The lack of clarity continues to create uncertainty among brands weighing whether to fully commit to local assembly.And how does the government intend to reconcile increasingly restrictive import policies with its own targets of 20% xEV penetration by 2030, rising to 50% by 2040 and 80% by 2050?<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>

The measures include movement restrictions on heavy vehicles during certain periods, technical inspections, and strict action against operators or drivers breaching road traffic rules. Hamidi emphasised that these steps are <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2024/11/apad-issues-temporary-ban-on-using-power-sockets-on-express-buses" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;">part of a coordinated approach with other agencies to reduce accidents and traffic congestion during the festive season.</a>“Between 2022 and 2025, inspections at bus terminals and inspection centres found 32 instances of buses travelling more than 300km without a second driver"Enforcement is not meant to be punitive but to safeguard the industry’s future.

In a recent operation, KL JPJ issued 382 summonses for various offences, including on two tour buses without guides. “It is a serious offence, as it could endanger the passengers and tarnish the reputation of the country’s tourism industry,” Hamidi noted.Transport Minister Anthony Loke confirmed that enforcement would involve both traditional roadblocks and plain-clothes officers boarding buses. He added that raising standards like having a second driver is crucial to encouraging public confidence in Malaysia’s transport system.During a walkabout at Terminal Bersepadu Selatan, Loke observed that all passengers on a bus to Melaka were wearing seat belts.

Jetour Rolls Out New Stylised ‘JT’ Logo In Malaysia

<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21509/16820805/chargesini-kuantan-(3)-full.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16820805" alt="chargesini-kuantan-(3)-full.jpg">


A viral social media post is sparking debate about Malaysian drivers and <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/12/st-free-public-ev-charging-requires-evcs-licence" target="_blank" style="">the country’s transition to electric vehicles (EVs). </a>
On Threads, user @keshydhillon shared photos of two BMWs, a 2 Series and an X5 parked in designated EV charging bays, blocking access for EV owners who actually needed to charge their cars.“We can have 500,000 EV chargers all around the country, but as long as idiots like this keep insisting on parking in lots meant for charging, EV adoption will always be difficult,” the netizen wrote, prompting hundreds of reactions.


<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/21509/16820806/WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-11.43.28.jpeg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16820806" alt="WhatsApp-Image-2026-02-04-at-11.43.28.jpeg"> Threads: Keshydhillon. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">Another user, @tracylaism, called for tougher enforcement: “They should be fined based on the minutes or hours they park their non-EV cars there.”
The incident highlights a wider issue. As of November 31, 2025, Malaysia’s Energy Commission (ST) reported 5,360 licensed public EV chargers, including 3,569 AC chargers and 1,791 DC fast chargers.While the BMW parking case may seem minor, it underscores a bigger cultural hurdle. Malaysia’s readiness for EV adoption depends not only on infrastructure but also on driver discipline and awareness.

As one social media observer noted, “A country cannot evolve if its people are still stuck in old habits.”Experts say that for EV adoption to accelerate, stricter enforcement, public education, and behavioural change will need to go hand-in-hand with rapid infrastructure expansion. Until then, blocked charging bays and frustrated EV owners may remain a common sight.

Non-electric BMWs parked in EV charging bays spark frustration and highlight mindset issues among Malaysian drivers.
