Double-tracking project benefits must reach nearby communities, says PM


JOHOR BARU: The benefits of the new Gemas-Johor Baru Electrified Double-Tracking Project (EDTP) must trickle down to the communities living near its stations, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

He said the new stations have the potential to grow into economic hubs that directly improve the livelihoods of nearby communities.

Anwar said here on Thursday (Dec 11) that the project would further boost Johor’s booming economic status in Malaysia.

The 192km EDTP features 11 stations and is designed to enhance mobility, speed and connectivity between the southern region and the Klang Valley.
