The Transport Minister said that KTM Berhad has had a long fruitful relationship with Hyundai Rotem as they were still using the trainmaker’s Class 83 and 91 trains."We hope to continue this cooperation with more localisation of their technologies so we can integrate their experience and knowledge to develop Malaysian rail talent," said Dr Wee.
"KTMB currently has staff undergoing training in Korea and with more trainees to be sent soon," he said. Also present during the meeting were KTMB chief executive officer Rani Hisham and the Ministry’s director-general of rail Shahriman Shafein. "We are working out the details to collaborate and work with the Korea Railroad Research Institute to enhance our training in railway and highway speed technical knowledge," he said.
