The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), a 665-kilometre railway connecting Malaysia’s East and West Coasts, is a significant national infrastructure project. This “land bridge” between Port Klang and Kuantan Port is expected to boost international trade, provide an alternative maritime route for cargo and passengers, and reduce travel time between Kota Bharu and Putrajaya to about four hours.
The ECRL will connect with various rail services, such as ERL, MRT2, and KTMB, and is expected to drive Economic Accelerator Projects (EAPs). MIDA has a dedicated team overseeing EAP implementation, engaging with stakeholders including State Governments, Ministries, Agencies, business chambers, and developers.
