1.2) Greater KL/Klang Valley region<br />
The definition of the GKL/KV region is taken from the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP)<br />
(Source: Pemandu, 2010). The region comprises KL, Putrajaya and all districts in Selangor with the<br />
exception of Kuala Langat, Kuala Selangor, Sabak Bernam and Ulu Selangor (See Figure 1.2). The region<br />
is defined as being of key economic importance for Malaysia as a whole. Over 37% of the nation‟s Gross<br />
Domestic Product (GDP) is identified as being related to KL and Selangor (Source: National Statistics<br />
2009). Within the ETP, the National Key Economic Area (NKEA) for the GKL/KV region has specified the<br />
following objectives:<br />
„To achieve a top-20 ranking in city economic growth while being among the global top-20 most<br />
liveable cities by 2020 via 9 Entry Point Projects (EPP)‟.<br />
One element EPP is the GKL/KV Connect which is about public transport within the urban city. In<br />
defining the region for the GKL/KV LPTMP, analysis of travel demand data indicates that areas such as<br />
Nilai and Seremban, whilst being outside the defined region, do contribute significant demands to KL<br />
and should therefore be considered in developing the LPT strategy.<br />
