Najib Razak Urges Launch of LRT3
Former Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak recalled the launch of the Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT3) project in 2016 while describing it as proof of the Barisan Nasional (BN) government’s approach of prioritizing community development regardless of political differences.
Through a post on Facebook yesterday, Najib said the project to connect Bandar Utama with Johan Setia was launched when Azmin Ali was still serving as Selangor Chief Minister and PKR Deputy President.
According to him, the BN government at that time did not use political differences as an obstacle in implementing projects that were beneficial to the people.
“The BN government doesn’t care, it doesn’t play politics in development. As long as the project is good for the people, we will do it,” he said.
Najib said that when the launch was carried out in August 2016, the initial target set was for the project to be completed around 2020.
He said that the construction period of around four years was considered quite challenging considering that the 51 kilometer Mass Rapid Transit (MRT1) River Buloh-Kajang Line project previously took around six years to complete.
However, he said that the 37.8 kilometer long LRT3 line was believed to be able to be completed on schedule in line with the BN Government’s focus on implementation performance and achieving key performance indicators (KPI).
The LRT3 project connecting Bandar Utama and Johan Setia was finally completed and started operating yesterday after experiencing several delays compared to the initial target announced when it was launched almost a decade ago.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
