ECRL extension to Thailand brings long-term benefits, says Loke
“The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project should be extended to the northern border and integrated with the Thai rail network to unlock its full potential, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke.”
” ‘At the same time, our Transport Ministry is preparing a Cross Border Transport memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Thailand to ensure cross-border rail can be realised,’ Loke added.’ ”
“He added that Malaysia will cooperate with China to operate the high-speed railway when the ECRL is completed.”
“Last month, Malaysia and Thailand agreed to revive the line between Pasir Mas and Sungai Golok under Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad (KTMB) to reconnect the railway networks.”
