The Ministry of Transport (MoT) has approved the Final Railway Scheme for the Mass Rapid Transit 3 (MRT3) Circle Line project in Malaysia. The project, led by Malaysia Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp), received the green light after completing a three-month Public Inspection exercise from September to December 2024. The consultation drew over 45,000 written responses, with 93.3 per cent expressing strong support.
Following public feedback, MRT Corp made several modifications to reduce community impact. Notably, the number of land lots to be acquired has been reduced from 1,012 to 690. Adjustments have also been made to station locations, viaduct placement, and rail system design. These changes were made in collaboration with government bodies including APAD, DBKL, MPAJ, JKR, LLM, and the Ministry of Works.
The 51 km MRT3 Circle Line will form an orbital loop around Kuala Lumpur and integrate fully with existing MRT, LRT, KTM, and Monorail lines. It will feature 10 interchange stations to facilitate efficient and seamless travel across the Klang Valley. Land acquisition is expected to begin shortly and conclude by end-2026.
