PETALING JAYA: Transport Minis­ter Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai has described the launch of Phase 1 of the Sg Buloh-Kajang MRT Line (SBK) as a “milestone” in strengthening the country’s urban rail network.

The 21km track running along one of the most populated and developed suburban areas between Sg Buloh and Bukit Damansara, said Liow, was set to ease traffic congestion as commuters were provided easy access to public transport.
