THE INAUGURAL LAND PUBLIC TRANSPORT FORUM 2012
In Partnership with UK Trade & Investment
Wednesday 11th & Thursday 12th July 2012
The Ritz-Carlton Convention Centre
‘MOVING TOGETHER FOR BETTER PUBLIC TRANSPORT’
On 3rd June 2010, the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) was established following
the passing of the Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat (SPAD) Act 2010 in Parliament,
and on 31 January 2011 SPAD gained its full powers. SPAD brings the functions, previously
spread across 13 departments, of drawing up policies, planning and regulating all aspects of
train, bus and taxi services as well as road- and rail-based freight transport under one roof. It
also has enforcement powers, which it carries out through close cooperation with other
enforcement agencies. Mandated to lead the transformation of Malaysia’s public transport
system to become the rakyat’s mode of choice, SPAD comes directly under the purview of the
Prime Minister.
The Government of Malaysia has high expectations for SPAD and ambitious targets have been
set. This includes increasing the modal share for public transport in the Klang Valley to 25% by
2015 during AM peak periods, as well as 750,000 AM peak public transport ridership with 75%
of the population residing within 400m of UPT nodes.
SPAD is cognisant of the fact that it has only one option: to deliver results, and deliver them
fast. The Inaugural Land Public Transport Forum 2012 is thus timely and serves as a platform
for inter-industry cooperation, furthering of mutual interests and for frank and open dialogue
amongst stakeholders, with specific focus on key areas which are pivotal to the
implementation of public transport projects nationwide. The Inaugural Land Public Transport
Forum 2012 is also an opportunity for bilateral and multi-lateral cooperation to be stepped up
so that objectives and priorities amongst key stakeholders are aligned, in order to ensure
efficient distribution of resources and prevent unnecessary duplications.
By being involved in The Inaugural Land Public Transport Forum 2012, you will have a genuine
opportunity to deepen your understanding and tackle mutual challenges, as well as forge new
partnerships across various levels in a conducive and productive setting.

DAY 1: Wednesday 11th July
PUBLIC TRACK
8.00 – 9.00am Registration
9.00 – 9.15am Welcoming Remarks & Official Opening Address by YB Tan Sri Dato’ Seri
Syed Hamid bin Syed Jaafar Albar Chairman, Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan
Awam Darat [SPAD]
9.15 – 10.15am Session 1: Master Planning
Master planning forms part of establishing the business case for a
specific public transport line, particularly as the walk-in and ride-in
catchments, will significantly affect potential patronage over time. Major
development opportunities can be deliberately targeted but
implementation issues can be particularly complex in higher density
developments requiring three-dimensional thinking.
Master planning also plays an important role in establishing the
attractiveness of a specific system, as a means of encouraging ridership.
This may be a particular challenge in environments where car ownership
levels are high and climatic conditions mitigate against walking over
distance.
Presenter: Mr Mark Harrison Senior Technical Director-Urban Planning &
Consultancy, Asia Pacific, Atkins
Panellists:
1. Mr Mohd Nur Kamal Chief Executive Officer, SPAD
2. Mr Nimal Manuel Partner, Mckinsey & Company
3. Mr Roger Cruickshank Associate Director, Atkins
10.15 – 10.45am Morning coffee
10.45 – 11.45am Session 2: Property Development & Transport Oriented Design
Successful Transport Oriented Design (TOD) is about integration of
transport nodes with commercial enterprise and involves complex
3-dimensional challenges with a 4th dimensional factor of time. If
executed well, it will benefit developers and operators alike, enhance
people’s lives, and improve the way a city can function.
TOD is a widely recognized term, however, the fundamental principles of
TOD are not widely understood. This session will set out the principles,
and establish the objectives of TOD design, looking at it through the eyes
of a developer or a government owned entity. The presentation will use
completed projects as examples, and look at case studies, reflecting on
why operators such as MTRC in Hong Kong places TOD high on its list of
priorities.
Presenter: Mr Bertil de Kleynen Director-Architecture & Landscape, Atkins

projects, focussing on programme management for the rail sector, taking
examples from UK, Middle East, Africa and Asia. It will cover all stages of
projects, from initial planning, through preliminary and detailed design,
construction, commissioning and operations, plus subsequent
extensions and upgrades. The importance of design freezes will be
explained. Key issues for consideration at each stage of the project cycle
will be presented, along with typical durations and the elements to be
fixed at each stage.
Different models for project delivery will also be reviewed, ranging from
fully outsourced to fully in-house solutions. The level of experience and
market maturity required to support each model will be discussed, along
with advantages, disadvantages and risk profile for each model. Options
for procurement will also be covered.
Presenter: Mr George Ramsbottom Director, Asia Pacific, Atkins

2. Mr Ian M. Thomas Project Director, MMC-Gamuda
3. Mr Douglas McCormick Managing Director, Atkins Rail

3.15 – 4.15pm Session 5: Pedestrian Design for Stations
4.15pm
The success of a transport system often lies with the customer experience. The
needs of the pedestrian are often the significant driver in improving accessibility,
realising revenue targets, reducing congestion through modal shift, as well as
supporting the provision of transport equity across society.
This session will explore what makes a successful design from a pedestrian
viewpoint. Using our industry leading experience of pedestrian orientated
design, we will focus on a range of elements such as city network connectivity,
the journey experience, the ability of a design to accommodate the forecast
demand for facilities, as well as how secondary systems such as real time
information and wayfinding can further support the passenger journey.

Session 1 – Master Planning
Presenter: Mr Mark Harrison
Senior Technical Director - Urban Planning & Consultancy, Asia Pacific, Atkins
Mark has almost 30 years’ experience in Asia in urban planning and development. His experience
includes large-scale master planning (new towns, CBD expansion, airport support communities),
regional planning (regional plans, sub-regional plans), tourism and leisure (waterfront development,
resort development, sports and leisure), urban policy (urbanisation, sustainable development,
development intensity), infrastructure (ports, airports, roads, rail) and renewal (urban renewal,
revitalisation, pedestrianisation).
Career highlights include strategic planning for the urban spatial development of Shanghai, the
redevelopment plan for the former international airport in Hong Kong, and planning for both the
Holy City of Mecca and for Amman – the capital city of Jordan. Mark has worked extensively on the
urban planning aspects of metro projects around Asia including schemes in Malaysia, Singapore,
Hong Kong, China, Thailand, and the Philippines. He has also worked in Turkey, Jordan, Saudi
Arabia, and the United Kingdom.
Session 2 - Property Development & Transport Oriented Design
Presenter: Mr Bertil de Kleynen
Director - Architecture and Landscape, Asia Pacific, Atkins
Bertil‘s 27 career year span has brought him vast international experience working around the world
with particular focus on transport and transport-related mixed-use developments. In 1994, Bertil
worked on the hugely successful Kowloon Station development, a circa 1 million square meter
development located around and above MTR’s Kowloon Station, which is a major airport express
railway station. The project involved master planning the railway and the development for phased
construction, stitched together by retail. The project was built in 7 phases, and it has all been
completed today. This was one of MTRC’s landmark projects in Transport Oriented Development
and led the world in contemporary TOD design.
Following this, Bertil worked on many other mixed use/transport projects such as: TWW Station and
Development, Dubai Purple Line Airport and Developments, Peak Tram Station and Development,
Abu Dhabi’s Landbridge Transport Hub and Development, California’s Anaheim TOD project and
Chongqing Government TOD masterplan. These together with many independent railway, airport
and mixed-use development projects in South East Asia and China were instrumental in developing
Atkins’ TOD philosophy, geared at enhancing land values and return on investments for both railway
agencies and private developers of transport infrastructure.

expertise in value engineering and design coordination for complex projects.
Session 5: Pedestrian design for stations
Presenter: Mr Andrew Hodgson
Managing Consultant, Atkins UK, Highways & Transportation
Andrew has overall responsibility for managing and developing the Pedestrian and Space Planning
Sector for the Atkins Group. Working on projects across the globe, he and his team develop
pedestrian orientated designs for the full range of transport and urban contexts; from mass transit,
transit orientated developments and airports, through to city-wide and development specific
streetscapes.
Andrew’s role enables progressive collaboration and research between pedestrian planning,
architecture and transport planning, where his particular focus has been on the use of pedestrian
forecasting and movement analysis to underpin the value engineering of a design. By fully
integrating the needs of the pedestrian and how crowds respond to a design, Atkins has delivered
a unique range of transport infrastructure that has been specifically designed for the local context.
This expertise has been vital for his role in leading the forecasting of all Spectator and Workforce
travel for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Recently, Andrew and his team have enabled high quality station designs and the surrounding
public realm for Mass Transit systems in Doha, Kolkata and Kuwait, alongside previous experience
in Hong Kong and the UK. Andrew also led the UK Government study into the economic valuation
of pedestrian facilities and public realm, and by linking these to pedestrian forecasting, has been
used to drive the case for pedestrian orientated design at London’s Oxford Circus, a new footbridge
at Adelaide Oval in Australia, and new Pedestrian Masterplans for Abu Dhabi and Canberra.
