Up to 40 Per Cent of Johor RTS Link Public Infrastructure Value Allocated to Local Contractors

As much as 40 per cent of the total value of public infrastructure construction for the Johor Baru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project, estimated at RM800 million, will be allocated to qualified local contractors in Johor. This allocation is part of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Johor Centre for Construction Development (JCCD) and Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp), aimed at benefiting local businesses through their involvement in the project.
Local Contractors to Receive Significant Project Share

The MoU facilitates the strategic involvement of local contractors, ranging from grades G1 to G6, in the RTS Link project. This ensures that local firms gain exposure and opportunities within a significant infrastructure undertaking, fostering development and expertise within the state's construction sector.
Knowledge and Technology Transfer Planned

Through this joint venture, both JCCD and MRT Corp are committed to developing expertise among local contractors. This includes a focus on the transfer of knowledge and technology specifically related to the construction of the RTS Link, enhancing the capabilities of Johor-based businesses.
Public Infrastructure Value and Project Scope

The RM800 million allocated to local contractors represents a substantial portion of the total RM2 billion earmarked for public infrastructure work within the RTS Link project. The overall project value is estimated at RM3.7 billion, with construction of the first phase set to commence in January and public infrastructure work targeted for completion by the end of 2024.
