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.
