BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: Minister of Transport and Infocommunications Datuk Seri Setia Shamhary Datuk Paduka Mustapha highlighted discussions on a potential rail network and railway service during the 21st Legislative Council session on Tuesday (March 11).
He noted that the topic was raised during a bilateral meeting between Brunei and Malaysia last November. The Ministry of Transport and Infocommunications is aware of Malaysia’s plans to conduct a feasibility study on railway development between Sabah and Sarawak, but further research is needed before considering Brunei’s involvement.
No feasibility studies have been conducted on proposals received by the ministry. However, the ministry will continue to monitor developments and collaborate closely with proposers, particularly in planning domestic and cross-border connectivity systems. - Borneo Bulletin
