SANDAKAN: The Ministry of Transport plans to extend the railway transport services to connect all major towns in Sabah.
In this connection, the ministry through the Sabah State Railway Department (SSRD) and the Malayan Railway Berhad (KTMB) has been carrying out short-term work projects to modernise the railway service from Tanjung Aru to Tenom spanning 133.7 kilometres as a precursor to linking the major towns in the state.
This modernisation work has been divided into two sectors, i.e. Sector 1 (Tanjung Aru to Kimanis) and Sector 2 (Kimanis-Tenom).
In terms of progress, modernisation works for Sector 1 has been completed in full whereas Sector 2 is 74.5 per cent complete. The modernisation work for Sector 2 is expected to be completed by March 2012.
This was the ministry’s response to the oral question raised by MP for Batu Sapi, Datin Linda Tsen Thau Lin in Parliament recently.
The short-term work projects to modernise Sabah railway services from Tanjung Aru to Tenom are among the efforts undertaken by the ministry to connect the major towns in the state. Plans to link the other major towns in the state will be implemented after the ongoing modernisation work is completed.
The ministry has taken note of a study conducted by the State Ministry of Infrastructure Development (KPINS) to have railway services connected to all major towns in the state and this study will be scrutinised and taken into account in the planning for the future railway services.
