Despite earlier hopes for an August launch, the southern stretch of the line particularly from Kluang to JB Sentral still has significant work left to complete.A recent inspection by The Star along the 180km alignment between <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2023/11/loke-announced-new-northern-ktmbs-commuter-trains-ets-for-gemas-jb-line" target="_blank">Segamat and JB Sentral</a> revealed that key electrification and signalling infrastructure are still unfinished. The 100KM stretch between Kluang and Johor Bahru, in particular, remains a major bottleneck.In some areas near JB Sentral, only basic pole structures have been erected. The critical catenary system, which includes contact wires and other components of the overhead line equipment (OHLE) is still missing in several sections. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18790/15801581/conversions/gemas-jb-edtp-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15801581" alt="gemas-jb-edtp.png"> Experts say installing, testing, and commissioning this OHLE system is a time-consuming process that includes multiple steps such as tensioning, energisation, and safety checks.While the full 192KM stretch from Gemas to JB was initially touted to be ready this year, progress appears slower than expected. ETS services from Gemas to Segamat began operations back in March, but <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/07/ktmb-adds-11340-extra-ets-seats-for-aug-sept-holidays" target="_blank">no tickets beyond Segamat</a> have been offered since.In response to growing public concern, KTMB has issued a statement reaffirming its commitment to completing the southern ETS expansion. The rail operator stressed that the rollout is being done in phases and is still on track, pending technical and regulatory milestones. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18790/15801583/conversions/the-new-gemas-jb-ets-v0-tky281xrea5d1-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15801583" alt="the-new-gemas-jb-ets-v0-tky281xrea5d1.jpg"> KTMB said trial runs are currently underway on the next stretch between Segamat and Kluang. If all goes well, this segment could be opened next, possibly using existing ETS train sets, provided regulatory approvals come through.In the background, KTMB is also testing <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/06/two-of-10-new-ets-train-sets-delivered-to-ktmb" target="_blank">new ETS train sets</a> from China. The first of these, known as the “golden train,” must log at least 8,000 fault-free kilometres before it can enter commercial service, a standard requirement to ensure system integrity.

Mind you, these functions are only available for higher-specced models, depending on the market.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18782/15791524/conversions/Toyota-YarisCross-DNGA-ASEAN-NCAP-2-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15791524" alt="Toyota-YarisCross-DNGA-ASEAN-NCAP-2.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18782/15791528/conversions/web_CariCarz_2023-Toyota-Yaris-Cross_HEV_Thailand_-(3)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15791528" alt="web_CariCarz_2023-Toyota-Yaris-Cross_HEV_Thailand_-(3).jpg"> Speaking of markets, what’s also interesting to see is that the ASEAN NCAP result sheet shows that the Yaris Cross is also listed as being made in Malaysia for the Malaysian market.

 The MEX II Highway, once planned as a major traffic solution for Klang Valley, has remained unfinished since 2019.

Originally set to be completed in December 2019, the 18-kilometre extension was designed to ease congestion on the existing MEX Expressway. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">However, prolonged cash flow issues halted the work. The project has since come under renewed public scrutiny following an investigation into RM360 million worth of alleged false claims, now being probed by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

The government is working with bondholders to restart the long-delayed MEX II Highway.

This is the latest version of Bridgestone’s flagship tyre series, with the new version promising to deliver a quieter and smoother ride than the previous version.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18773/15782246/conversions/Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-1-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15782246" alt="Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-1.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18773/15782247/conversions/Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-3-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15782247" alt="Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-3.jpg"> Developed in response to customer feedback, the new Turanza 6 incorporates Bridgestone’s new ENLITEN™ technology, which promises up to an 8% reduction in noise levels and an 8% increase in ride comfort over its predecessor, the Turanza T005A. More importantly, Bridgestone also promises the Turanza 6 to deliver 14% better wet grip over the previous model, granting drivers more confidence and stability in challenging driving conditions.What’s also interesting about the new Turanza 6 is the fact that it is now designed to meet the specific demands of EVs. Thanks to its low rolling resistance, the Turanza 6 promises to extend the travel range for your EVs, while its enhanced wear tolerance helps to subside the effects from the high torque and heavy weight EVs have over combustion-powered cars.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18773/15782249/conversions/Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-4-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15782249" alt="Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-4.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18773/15782248/conversions/Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-5-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15782248" alt="Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-5.jpg"> For the environmentally conscious, the new Turanza 6 has been developed with sustainability in mind, where it uses fewer newly sourced raw materials during its production than the previous version, and its life wear has also been extended. As a result, Bridgestone claims the new Turanza 6 production produces 16% less CO₂ emissions at the raw material stage, while its increased rolling resistance also leads to a decrease in energy consumption while driving.“This new flagship tyre combines exceptional performance with sustainability-focused features, showcasing Bridgestone’s dedication to advancing safety, innovation, and environmental responsibility in the premium tyre segment. We are confident that the Bridgestone Turanza 6 will change what drivers can expect of a luxurious, comfortable, and quiet driving experience,” said Michael Chung, Managing Director of Bridgestone Malaysia.<img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18773/15782250/conversions/Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-2-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15782250" alt="Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-2.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18773/15782251/conversions/Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-7-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15782251" alt="Bridgestone-Turanza6-Tyre-Malaysia-7.jpg"> With sizes ranging from 14 to 21 inches, the new Bridgestone Turanza 6 tyres are now available on sale at all <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/02/new-bridgestone-premium-outlet-opens-in-kuala-lumpur" target="_blank">authorised Bridgestone outlets</a><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/02/new-bridgestone-premium-outlet-opens-in-kuala-lumpur" target="_blank"> </a>in Malaysia.
