The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project, spanning 665 kilometers from Kota Bharu, Kelantan to Selangor, has achieved over 81% completion. Malaysia Rail Link Sdn Bhd (MRL) CEO Datuk Seri Darwis Abdul Razak confirmed the project's progress, stating it remains on track for its December 2026 completion date.
According to Darwis, the 81% completion figure follows a recent inspection of the Pasir Puteh ECRL Station site.
