We thoroughly agree with the findings of the World Bank where they report that KL is highly inefficient. It is said that Malaysia had neglected to expand its rail networks in the past unlike forward thinking countries such as Switzerland. This was perceived largely due to the need to promote car ownership and support the national automotive industry. Cheap fuel as a result of subsidies also made it relatively cheaper to drive in Malaysia than in other countries which helped encouraged urban sprawl.
