KUALA LUMPUR: Powerwell Holdings Bhd has secured two purchase orders totaling RM9.78 million for the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link Package 2A project.

In a statement today, the electrical solutions provider said these orders, awarded by Raiden M&E Sdn Bhd, are for the RTS Link Bukit Chagar Station, including the Immigration, Customs, and Quarantine Complex (ICQC) in Johor Bahru, and Woodlands in Singapore.

The orders are extension orders related to Package 4 (station and operations control centre) and Package 6 (depot and power supply) of the project, encompassing critical installations at the Wadi Hana Depot and the RTS Link Bukit Chagar station, it said.

The RTS Link, a significant infrastructure initiative designed to improve cross-border connectivity between Johor Bahru, Malaysia, and Singapore, is progressing steadily with construction having reached over 65 per cent completion on both sides to date.

Once completed, the RTS Link will significantly ease congestion at the Causeway, providing a seamless travel experience for thousands of commuters daily.

Powerwell's involvement in the RTS Link project underscores its commitment to supporting key infrastructure developments which enhance regional connectivity and economic growth.

The RTS Link, which is set to commence operations by the end of 2026, will play a crucial role in improving the flow of people and goods between Malaysia and Singapore, making it one of the most anticipated cross-border infrastructure projects in Southeast Asia.
