KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 — All public transport, including those operated by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd and Prasarana Malaysia Bhd, will operate as usual tomorrow, despite a planned rally here by the opposition.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said it is crucial to maintain the smooth operation of the city’s public transport network so the public can go about their weekend plans without disruption.
He also encouraged those wishing to participate in the rally to use public transport to minimise traffic congestion.
“For those heading into the capital, don’t forget that the MY50 Pass can now be renewed online via the Touch ‘n Go app. Although the pass is worth RM150, users only pay RM50, with the government subsidising the remaining RM100,” Loke posted on Facebook today.
“For first-time visitors to Kuala Lumpur, they can enjoy unlimited daily rides on the LRT, MRT, BRT, monorail, and RapidBus using the MyCity Pass, which only costs RM6. This pass will be digitised by year end,” he added.
On the rally tomorrow, he reaffirmed that the Madani Government upholds the right to peaceful assembly, even for those with differing views.
“We must not return to an era where democracy was suppressed, to the extent of shutting down Parliament,” Loke said.
