Key Kelana Jaya LRT upgrade to cause service changes on weekends in August, September
According to Prodyut Dutt, Prasarana's group chief operating officer (strategy and development), the phased upgrade will involve replacing both hardware and software components of the current system, which has been operating on outdated 1980s software.
'… sourcing replacement parts has become increasingly difficult. This upgrade is essential to keep the Kelana Jaya Line safe and reliable well into the future,' Dutt said at a briefing today.
The project includes migrating the current platform to the latest version of the SelTrac digital railway signalling technology and replacing legacy hardware. Key new features include enhanced data analytics for better performance monitoring an

Dutt explained that while most of the work will take place during non-operational hours to minimise passenger disruption, some service adjustments will be necessary.
Phase 1 (June 14 - July 19) has already been completed during routine night-time maintenance windows, as works were confined to depot areas.
The upcoming Phase 2 (August 9 - September 14) and Phase 3 (October 11 - November 22) will involve live system testing, requiring late weekend openings.
On selected dates during Phases 2 and 3, certain stations will open later at 9am instead of the usual 6am to accommodate real-time testing.
Stations not involved in testing will operate on their normal hours.
Phase 2
Aug 9, 10, 16, 17, 23: KLCC, Ampang Park, Damai, Dato' Keramat, Jelatek
Sept 5, 6, 7, 14: Setiawangsa, Sri Rampai, Wangsa Maju, Taman Melati, Gombak
Phase 3
Oct 11, 12, 18, 19: Lembah Subang, Kelana Jaya, Taman Bahagia, Taman Paramount, Asia Jaya, Taman Jaya
Nov 1, 15, 16, 22: Universiti, Kerinchi, Abdullah Hukum, Bangsar, KL Sentral, Pasar Seni, Masjid Jamek, Dang Wangi, Kampung Baru, KLCC, Ampang Park
Dutt said the new system is expected to extend the lifespan of the existing signalling infrastructure by up to 20 years.
As of June 30, over 80 per cent of the design and development work for the new system has been completed.

Logitech says production shift out China to reduce tariff impact going well
ZURICH (Reuters) -Logitech International is making good progress on shifting its production lines out of China to reduce the impact of U.S. tariffs on its computer peripherals, Chief Executive Hanneke Faber said on Wednesday The changes were announced in April to lessen the impact of U.S. duties on Chinese imports, which currently amount to 20% and 30% on the mice and keyboards Logitech makes in the country. "We said in April we were at 40% of products bound for the U.S coming from China and by the end of the year we will be at 10%," Faber told Reuters after Logitech reported its Q1 2026 earnings. "We are a little bit better than 30% now, we are well on track," she added. The shift in production lines to Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Taiwan was not leading to any material cost increases, she said.

European prime minister resigns after protests over past financial dealings
Lithuanian Prime Minister Gintautas Paluckas resigned on Thursday following protests in the country's capital over investigations into his alleged business dealings. "Gintautas Paluckas called me this morning and informed me of his resignation," Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda told reporters, according to Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT). Nausėda also said Paluckas made the right choice and welcomed the decision. Nausėda recently gave Paluckas two weeks to decide whether or not to stay in his position. "The president has asked the prime minister to either give a reasoned answer to the questions raised by the public in the next two weeks, or to consider seriously his further options as prime minister," presidential adviser Frederikas Jansonas told reporters on July 24, according to LRT. The prime minister's resignation also comes after a smaller party threatened to exit the country's ruling coalition unless Paluckas stepped down from his position. After media outlets began publishing investigations into Paluckas' business and financial dealings, Lithuania's anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies launched probes of their own, according to the Associated Press. One of the cases against him is more than a decade old. In 2012, Paluckas was convicted of mishandling the bidding process for rat extermination in Vilnius, where he was serving as the director of the city's municipality administration, the Associated Press reported. However, it has been revealed that he did not pay a chunk of the nearly $20,000 fine. A more recent scandal involved a €200,000 ($228,777) subsidized loan that Garnis, a company Paluckas co-founded, received after Paluckas was already serving as prime minister, according to LRT. The outlet added that Lithuania's Chief Official Ethics Commission is investigating the loan. Garnis was also linked to a more recent scandal involving the prime minister in which Dankora — Paluckas' sister-in-law's company — received EU funding and used it to purchase goods from Garnis. However, according to LRT, public outcry pushed Dankora to return the funds. Paluckas denies any wrongdoing and claims the criticism is part of a "coordinated attack" by his political opponents, according to the Associated Press. The prime minister's resignation puts Lithuania in a precarious position, as it comes just before Russia and Belarus hold joint military exercises. Paluckas' whole cabinet is expected to resign as well, possibly leaving the Baltic country without a functioning government just weeks ahead of the Russian-Belarusian exercises, according to the Associated Press. However, this may not impact Lithuania's foreign policy, as Nausėda, who represents the country on a global scale, has been an ardent supporter of Ukraine during its years-long war with Russia.
