A simple opening ceremony was carried out at the entrance to the link bridge at Sunway Nexis, with representatives from the Sunway Group, Malaysia Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp), Sunway Nexis Joint Management Body and others.

The construction of the bridge was carried out by Sunway PKNS Sdn Bhd, the developer of Sunway Nexis.

Speeches were also delivered by Sunway PKNS Director, Projects, Project Management Encik Adly Sham, and MRT Corp Deputy General Manager Strategic Communications and Stakeholder Relations Mr Leong Shen-Li.

In conjunction with the opening of the link bridge, Sunway Nexis also held a weekend bazaar which was organised by Caring Moms. The event was also held to coincide with Mother’s Day celebrations.
