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.

Navigating the Future of Construction with AI-Powered Robotics
Read More
The construction industry is on the brink of a significant transformation as AI-powered robots become increasingly prevalent. While robots have long been used in manufacturing, their potential impact on construction is gaining attention, especially with advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). According to industry experts, adopting AI-powered "humanoid" robots could substantially change the workforce, possibly reducing the number of human jobs in construction. Investment bank Morgan Stanley recently highlighted the growing trend of integrating AI with robotics, particularly in humanoid robots that could be deployed across various industries, including construction. These robots, equipped with large language models and generative AI capabilities, such as those seen in ChatGPT, could handle tasks traditionally performed by human workers, potentially reducing the need for manual labour on construction sites. The use of AI in construction is driven by the industry's ongoing struggle to attract and retain skilled workers. As the working-age population in advanced economies continues to decline, construction companies face increasing difficulties in maintaining productivity. AI-powered robots could offer a solution by filling the labour gap and ensuring that projects are completed efficiently. However, the introduction of these robots has its challenges. The transition could prove politically and socially divisive, raising concerns about job displacement and the broader implications for the workforce. Morgan Stanley warns that up to 70% of construction jobs could be affected by the widespread adoption of AI-powered robots, leading to significant changes in the industry. Despite these concerns, proponents of AI in construction argue that robots could help alleviate labour shortages, particularly in regions with shrinking and ageing populations. By automating repetitive and physically demanding tasks, AI-powered robots could improve safety on construction sites and allow human workers to focus on more complex and creative aspects of the job. Stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore how the construction industry can navigate the challenges and opportunities brought by AI-powered robotics.
