KUALA LUMPUR: Dagang Nexchange Bhd
(DNeX), via its subsidiary Dagang Net Technologies Sdn Bhd, has secured contracts worth US$1.8 million to provide site facilitation and supply of technical and technological equipment at six international sites in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Turkiye.
These contracts were secured via its involvement in Saudi Arabia’s Makkah Route initiative for 2025, supporting a seamless hajj pilgrimage experience for muslims worldwide, it said in a statement.
"The six sites involved are KLIA Terminal 1 (Malaysia), Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (Jakarta, Indonesia), Juanda International Airport (Surabaya, Indonesia), Adi Soemarmo Airport (Solo, Indonesia), Istanbul Airport (Istanbul, Turkiye) and Ankara Esenboga Airport (Ankara, Turkiye),” said the company.
DNeX’s group chief executive officer Faizal Sham Abu Mansor said that securing the same six sites for 2025 is a testament to the trust placed by Saudi Arabia in the company’s capabilities and commitment.
"Our ongoing collaboration with authorities in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Turkiye also reflects our dedication to operational excellence in international partnerships,” he said.
According to the statement, the Makkah Route Initiative is spearheaded by Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Interior, in collaboration with several other government entities, with DNeX having been involved in the project since 2019.
This initiative continues under the commission of Elm Company, a Saudi government-owned entity under the Public Investment Fund, the investment arm of the Saudi Ministry of Finance.
Moving forward, DNeX is optimistic about securing additional sites in the next hajj season, after securing six of the 11 global Makkah Route sites this year.
"The company also plans to deepen its collaboration with Elm Company, exploring opportunities in transportation and security, in line with its strategy to expand involvement in international government technology and infrastructure projects,” it added. - Bernama
