Station Management<br />
The most prominent project for Semasa Sentral Sdn Bhd is<br />
<strong>the</strong> management of Stesen Sentral Kuala Lumpur (SSKL), <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>nation</strong>’s main rail transportation network hub. The station is<br />
<strong>the</strong> embodiment of everything a world-class transportation<br />
hub should be. SSKL forms <strong>the</strong> integration point for Keretapi<br />
Tanah Melayu Berhad’s (KTMB) Intercity <strong>and</strong> Komuter interstate<br />
<strong>and</strong> inter-city rail systems, Rangkaian Aliran Perkhidmatan<br />
Pengangkutan Integrasi Deras (RAPID) Light Rail Transit’s (LRT),<br />
Klang Valley’s urban rail network system, as well as <strong>the</strong> Express<br />
Rail Link (ERL) high-speed train service to <strong>the</strong> Kuala Lumpur<br />
Inter<strong>nation</strong>al Airport (KLIA).<br />
Besides a rail transportation hub, SSKL has also been designated<br />
as one of <strong>the</strong> city’s bus hubs. Among buses operating from <strong>the</strong><br />
station are RapidKL’s revamped bus network <strong>and</strong> buses to Kuala<br />
Lumpur Inter<strong>nation</strong>al Airport – both <strong>the</strong> Main <strong>and</strong> Low-Cost<br />
Carrier terminals.<br />

passengers per day as compared to only 50,000 in <strong>the</strong> beginning<br />
of its operation, thus proving its st<strong>and</strong>ing as a popular integrated<br />
transportation hub.<br />
Our 10th Anniversary celebration was launched by <strong>the</strong> Deputy<br />
Prime Minister, YAB Tan Sri Dato’ Haji Muhyiddin bin Mohd<br />
Yassin <strong>and</strong> witnessed by all relevant ministries <strong>and</strong> agencies<br />

by <strong>the</strong> Government through its professionalism in ensuring a<br />
world-class service. We are proud to say that this celebration<br />
was a success, <strong>and</strong> received media attention. Besides <strong>the</strong> big<br />
event, <strong>the</strong>re was also a month exhibition on Stesen Sentral<br />
