The Gemas-Johor Bahru electrified double-tracking rail project is currently 92% complete, and is expected to be completed by 2025, according to Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook.
“This whole project needs time to complete as it has been delayed many times, especially due to the COVID-19, but now it’s on track.
“We hope this project can be completed as soon as possible so that it can connect Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur and all the way to Padang Besar,” he told a press conference after witnessing the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the strategic cooperation for the construction of the Kluang Heritage Railway Linear Park at Tunku Ibrahim Ismail hall.
Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh, chairman of the Johor Works, Transport, and Infrastructure Committee, was also present.
