Prasarana Champions Sustainable City Living Through TOD
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 (Bernama) -- As urban mobility becomes increasingly unsustainable amid growing populations and emissions, Prasarana Malaysia Bhd is rising to the challenge by focusing on transit-oriented development (TOD) — a model that clusters residential, commercial, and civic spaces within walking distance of public transport hubs. Prasarana, the country's largest public transport operator, said TOD promotes high-density, walkable neighbourhoods with reduced car dependency, a vision it is driving through its subsidiary Prasarana Integrated Development Sdn Bhd (PRIDE), which focuses on delivering TOD projects. 'These are live developments reshaping the Klang Valley. Among them is Perla Ara Damansara, a mixed-use development adjacent to the light rail transit (LRT) station, blending affordable and mid-range residential units with retail, office suites, and a hotel. 'Another flagship is The Riveria City in Brickfields, near the Kuala Lumpur city centre, a mixed-use development built within the Monorail Depot and fully integrated with pedestrian flows and surrounding businesses,' it said in a statement. Prasarana said each TOD site is shaped by principles of inclusivity, mobility, and environmental resilience, including walkability and access to essential services, with the aim of transforming transit stations into vibrant anchors of urban life that support homes, jobs, and retail activity within a unified ecosystem. Through TOD, the company is also unlocking new value by leveraging station land, air rights, and commercial assets. 'Over the next five years, PRIDE aims to grow its commercial revenue through leasing, advertising, and joint development, diversifying income streams while contributing to broader goals of urban regeneration. 'Malaysia is not starting from scratch. It draws on global best practices, especially from Japan, where railway operators like JR East and JR West have long integrated transport with property, commerce, and services,' it added. According to Prasarana, Malaysia is adapting this approach to its own urban context, aligning TOD with national priorities such as the National Transport Policy, the 12th Malaysia Plan, and broader sustainability frameworks.

JS-SEZ key to Johor's rise as regional innovation and investment hub
Johor Investment, Trade, Consumer Affairs and Human Resources Committee chairman Lee Ting Han ISKANDAR PUTERI: The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is emerging as a cornerstone of Johor's transformation into a next-generation regional powerhouse, with the state offering a compelling value proposition to global investors in artificial intelligence (AI), data centres and high-value industries. Johor Investment, Trade, Consumer Affairs and Human Resources Committee chairman Lee Ting Han said the JS-SEZ, developed in close collaboration with Malaysia's federal government and Singaporean counterparts, aims to harmonise cross-border regulations, unlock trade flows and ease talent mobility between the two countries. "This zone will make Johor even more competitive and connected,' he said during closing remarks on the first day of the Nikkei Forum Medini 2025 here today. He emphasised that Johor is not a passive recipient of federal or foreign policy, but an active agent shaping regional growth through coherent, long-term strategies rooted in clarity, consistency and capacity. At the heart of this transformation is Medini, a flagship smart city that Lee described as a "public-private innovation lab', attracting more than RM13 billion in cumulative investments to date in sectors such as healthcare, education, business services and smart infrastructure. "Medini is more than just real estate, it's a collaborative innovation platform. Now is the time to shift from dialogue to action through MoUs, pilot projects, and enduring partnerships,' he said. Lee urged policymakers and institutions to recognise that sustainable, digital nation-building depends on integrated action across technology, energy, environmental, social and governance (ESG) frameworks. "What we've built today reflects on the need for cross-sector coherence. Let us now move from consensus to execution,' he added. Lee noted that Johor is undergoing a fundamental shift from a traditional industrial base into a next-generation economic powerhouse, driven by policy innovation, infrastructure readiness and investor confidence. The two-day Nikkei Forum Medini 2025 forms part of broader efforts to position Johor as a regional innovation hub, supporting the JS-SEZ initiative to attract high-quality investments and integrate value chains between Malaysia and Singapore. - Bernama
