Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri then stopped by the ECRL booth and signed a display poster as a momento.

Earlier during his JAKM closing ceremony speech, he said that ECRL project which is expected to be completed by end of 2026 will shorten the travelling time from the Klang Valley to Terengganu.

“This project will boost Terengganu economic growth especially in the construction and services sectors as the project infrastructure includes 70 percent of freight services which will facilitate the transportation of construction materials across the states,” he added.
