Surprise railway win for YTL


YTL did build the Express Rail Link (ERL) infrastructure back in 1996, but it has been quiet on this front, especially when the numerous rail projects were announced in the past three years.

PETALING JAYA: Among the many railway construction contracts that have been dished out of late, one in particular stands out from the rest.

This is because the recent construction contract for the Gemas-Johor Baru work package was awarded to YTL Corp Bhd, a company which has not been active in the local rail scene of late.
