PRASARANA Malaysia Bhd chairman Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman is looking to make significant changes at the rail and bus transport operator some of which may raise questions about the leadership and direction of the government-owned company.
For starters, documents viewed by The Edge reveal that Tajuddin, who was appointed chairman on May 11, had sought the termination of the contractors of the transport-oriented development at the Dang Wangi light rail transit (LRT) station, with Prasarana looking to play a more prominent role in the project and eventually move its office to the new development. The project going on at the LRT station is Latitud 8, a mixed-use commercial development with a gross development value (GDV) of RM1.2 billion.
