Radium Development Berhad celebrated the official opening of a 350-metre solar-powered covered walkway linking the Taman Melati LRT station to the Tunku Abdul Rahman University of Management and Technology (“TAR UMT”) campus.
The event was officiated by Kuala Lumpur Mayor, YBhg. Dato’ Seri TPr. Dr. Maimunah binti Mohd Sharif, underscoring the importance of enhancing urban connectivity for the benefit of students, faculty members and the surrounding communities in Taman Melati and Setapak.
Key stakeholders, including representatives from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), TAR UMT, CSR Malaysia and Radium attended the official opening ceremony, reflecting strong support for community-driven infrastructure projects that contribute to Kuala Lumpur’s urban growth and sustainability goals.
The RM600,000 infrastructure project is designed to provide much-needed shelter from the elements, ensuring a safer and more convenient route for pedestrians travelling between the LRT station and TAR UMT. The covered walkway is also powered by solar panels, aligning with sustainability efforts to create more energy-efficient public infrastructure.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Kuala Lumpur Mayor, Dato’ Seri TPr. Dr. Maimunah binti Mohd Sharif, commended the initiative, saying: “Infrastructure projects such as this covered walkway are key to achieving the goals outlined in the Kuala Lumpur Structure Plan 2040 (PSKL 2040), which envisions a connected, resilient and people-centric city, a ‘City for All’. DBKL strongly supports meaningful collaborations with private sector partners like Radium Development Berhad, who share our vision for a well-connected and people- friendly Kuala Lumpur. Through projects such as this, we see how developers can go beyond commercial projects to deliver infrastructure that benefits the wider community.”
This initiative reflects Radium’s ‘Building Good’ ethos—its commitment to responsible, community-centric development. Guided by the ‘Radium Rule of 8’, the developer prioritises sustainability, trust and inclusivity to ensure its projects create lasting positive impact.
