Although the 665km Malaysia East Railway Project is still under construction, it has greatly promoted the development of commerce and employment in underdeveloped areas in Malaysia.

Take the state of Gilantan where the first branch of the project is located as an example. It is mainly rural and one of the economically underdeveloped regions in Malaysia. The relevant person in charge of Division I introduced that before the Madong Railway Project arrived in Jilantan Prefecture, the number and supply capacity of suppliers were extremely limited. After cooperating with the project, they made profits from it to expand more business, and the level of cooperation was further improved.

According to the representatives of the partners, 80% of their employees are local people in Gilantan. The Madong Railway Project has brought them more opportunities. They always regard CCCC as an excellent partner.

The employee representative of the territory said that because of the Ma Dong Railway Project, local college students can obtain very valuable job opportunities in their hometown of Kuala Lumpur. After graduation from Kuala Lumpur, they will devote themselves to the construction of their hometown and will not have to leave their hometown to seek jobs.

With the help of advanced technology and rich experience of CCCC, the East Coast Railway of Malaysia is scheduled to be officially opened to traffic in 2026. The completion of Malaysia East Railway Project will be the backbone of the development of Malaysia's east coast, which will greatly reduce travel time and transportation costs, and promote the development of tourism and production.Editor/Ma Xue
