Connecting a nation


(From left) Kuala Sepetang, formerly known as Port Weld, housed the first train station to Taiping built in 1885. How things have changed. The Pasar Seni MRT station has bright blue panels which are meant to represent the rippling water at the confluence of Sungai Gombak and Sungai Klang, while its trapezoidal shape is inspired by the Gombak Selangor Quartz Ridge. The underground MRT stations, like the one in Bukit Bintang, stand out with unique trapezoidal shapes and glass and steel structures.

 

A GOOD road and railway network is essential in nation-building as it draws the far-flung corners of a country closer. Good roads and railway lines also help ease the passage of people and goods, allowing commerce and industry to flourish.
