“The dialogue session came at the right time and it is part of efforts by the government and industry players to improve the capacity and expertise of local rail players that will greatly benefit the Malaysian railway industry,” said Dr Wee about Marid 2022, an event organised by the National Rail Centre of Excellence in Putrajaya yesterday.
Dr Wee said Marid 2022 addressed a variety of issues concerning the local rail industry, which centres on development and direction of future policies. “The Transport Ministry has a vision to transform the local rail industry to a sustainable and strong business sector that is able to meet the demands of local and international industry players to optimise the use of local resources and technology,” he added.
