No private land acquisition for Ipoh Sentral so far, says Perak MB
IPOH, Sept 8 — No land acquisition involving individual landowners has been carried out so far for the RM6.25 bill...
As of now, no private land acquisition has taken place for the RM6.25 billion Ipoh Sentral development project, according to Perak's Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad. The project utilizes land approved by the Railway Assets Corporation (RAC) for development, and the Perak Land and Mines Department (PTG) has not received any land acquisition proposals.
This was in response to a question from Buntong assemblyman Thulsi Manogaran about whether the project would involve acquiring privately owned land. Saarani stated that the project would have a positive impact on residents in the Buntong constituency, with construction beginning in early 2026 and an integrated terminal and shopping centre expected to be completed between 2027 and 2032.
The project is projected to create between 8,000 and 9,000 jobs during construction and over 10,000 jobs once completed, benefiting various sectors and potentially increasing property values in the surrounding areas. Additionally, the construction of the integrated transit hub is expected to improve mobility and accessibility, stimulating tourism and local businesses.
