The developer for Klang Sentral is the reputable Titijaya Land, who has been active in the area. Looks like they are spending a lot on this area, showing their confidence with the potential of this part of Klang. The Galleria and Klang Sentral Commercial Centre are also their doings, which will help the development and growth of Klang Sentral.The traffic does not seem so bad so far, as this part of Klang is not densely populated and crowded just yet. Thus, that should not be a worry. But the early reception of this property was really terrible. The public complained that the relocation of the transportation hub has been an annoyance rather than an amenity. Businesses had to be relocated, and that have cost them money. The food court is also not getting the population traffic that they dreamed of, resulting in hawkers and food stall owners rethinking the place.It is a shame that the public's interest and opinion have not been considered heavily. However, the hope is that the area will pick up in the future, resulting in the whole territory of Klang being launched to a new height.
