The Putrajaya Monorail: A Billion-Ringgit Mistake?

What happened to the Putrajaya Monorail? Planned as the backbone of Putrajaya, this ambitious rail system was meant to connect government offices, residential areas, and transport hubs across the city. But despite millions spent and infrastructure already built, the project was suddenly cancelled in 2004 — leaving behind empty stations, unused tunnels, and a bridge that never carried a single train. In this video, we explore: Why the Putrajaya Monorail was built What caused the project to fail The estimated RM300–400 million loss And what this reveals about urban planning and infrastructure timing We also look at how Putrajaya evolved, including the role of the Putrajaya MRT Line and whether a rail system would make more sense today. Is the Putrajaya Monorail a failure… or simply a vision ahead of its time?
