With its proven record in Malaysia (delivering mainline and urban rail lines), Australia, Singapore, Taiwan and more, Gamuda is now ready to contribute again to its home country through more rail projects. Many projects are currently under construction on the rail front, such as the East Coast Rail Link, the Johor Baru to Singapore LRT, the proposed high-speed rail from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore, and the MRT3 (Circle Line). When it comes to urban rail, the Shah Alam line (formerly known as LRT3) is expected to enter into revenue service by Sept 2025, while the JB-Singapore RTS is expected to begin service in 2026, followed by ECRL in 2027 (for the stretch from Kota Baru to Gombak). This month, Malaysia has invited public feedback on the proposed alignment and station locations for its MRT3, a project that could take up to a decade to realise. Amidst all the above, the long-awaited Penang LRT is now shovel-ready, with Gamuda all ready to commence work as soon as the green light is given. Officially known as the Mutiara LRT Line, this proposed urban rail system stretches 28 km to connect George Town with Jelutong, Gelugor, and Bayan Lepas on Penang island. It will also have a future link towards Seberang Perai to bring commuters to and from the Penang mainland across the Penang Strait. The project, owned by Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd, is a critical component of the Penang Transport Master Plan and is expected to have 21 stations. Suppose construction begins on time next quarter. In that case, the line is expected to be completed by 2030, relieving the congested roads in Penang, the fifth-largest economy among Malaysian states.
