New line: The proposed LRT route from Komtar to the three man-made islands in Batu Maung in a map provided by the state government.

The Star learnt that the PIL has received approval from the Depart­ment of Environment – the federal regulator overseeing the Environ­mental Impact Assessment (EIA) report – in March while the LRT is expected to receive a conditional approval from the Transport Minis­try in May.

Both mega projects will be tendered to local and international companies at the end of the year.
