Last week, YTL Construction was delighted to be invited to speak at the 2nd ASEAN Automotive and Mobility Conference organised by PwC Malaysia in collaboration with Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii).

Natasha Zulkifli, Director of Stakeholder & Business Development at YTL Construction, joined speakers from Agensi Pengangkutan Awam Darat (APAD), Prasarana Malaysia Berhad and Grab Malaysia for a panel discussion moderated by PwC Malaysia, alongside industry leaders and policymakers shaping the future of mobility in ASEAN.

During the session, Natasha shared insights from the 192km Gemas-JB Electrified Double Track Project, delivered by SIPP–YTL JV. She spoke about the strong demand for the rail line and how it reflects the growing need for better connectivity between cities in Malaysia. Projects like these are not just about moving people faster, but about improving access, creating opportunities, supporting businesses and bringing communities closer together.

The discussion also explored how mobility today goes beyond transportation alone. Topics included urban design, integrated planning, predictive modelling, data driven decision making and how technology can help cities better understand movement patterns, improve efficiency and plan for future growth.

A key takeaway from the session was clear: the future of mobility cannot be built in silos. Strong partnerships between government, infrastructure players, mobility operators and technology providers will be critical in building a smarter and more connected ASEAN mobility ecosystem.

192 kilometres of electrified double track. Eight years. Thousands of people working on one single project...

The Gemas-Johor Bahru Electrified Double Track Project is one of the most significant upgrades to Malaysia’s rail network in recent memory. It connects Gemas to Johor Bahru through 11 stations, cuts travel time between JB and KL Sentral to around four hours and brings the southern corridor of Peninsular Malaysia onto a modern, electrified line.

But behind every kilometre, there are people who spent years of their lives getting it right.

In this Lunchtime Conversation, we sat down with Lee Hang Meng, Kelvin Koay, and Diana Wong Li Mei — three of the people who gave the better part of a decade to this project. They talk about what it actually took, the pressure, the precision and the years spent on site that kept them away from home. And they also talked about what the project gave back to them in return.

This one is for everyone who pours years of their life into something bigger than themselves. The people who build quietly and with dignity, so that a country can move.

Built by people. Built by YTL Construction.
