KUCHING: A Light Rail Transit (LRT) system connecting Kuching, Samarahan and Serian Divisions is not a far-fetched idea after all.
Chief Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Openg said yesterday the LRT system is being studied for inclusion in the public transport plan now being drafted by the state government to solve traffic congestion in these three divisions.
On how soon the plan will come into reality, Abang Johari who is also Finance Minister and Resource Planning and Environment Minister, said this will depend on the new financing model which he will announce next month.
