00:00For entrepreneurs in Klang, there is a reason to be happy.
00:03With the LRT3 finally running, more visitors are expected in the city.
00:08That can only mean more shoppers and diners.
00:11Business groups and an economist tell FMT, restaurants, shops and tourist attractions
00:16are likely to be the biggest gainers.
00:19This does not come as a surprise.
00:21For diners, shoppers and sightseers, there is a lot on offer in Klang.
00:25But for many, traffic congestion and parking problems can be a turn off.
00:30With the LRT3, this will no longer be a problem.
00:33For SMEs, it also makes it easier to hire workers.
00:37In the past, many have turned down jobs because the workplace is too far or too difficult to
00:42reach.
00:43But there is more to be done.
00:45Feeder buses, walkways, cycling paths and park and ride facilities are also essential for
00:51smooth home to workplace commute.
00:53With the right planning, LRT3 could become a catalyst for more balanced growth across
00:58the Klang Valley.
