Ekovest Bhd’s wholly-owned subsidiary Ekovest Construction Sdn Bhd (ECSB) has been appointed by Malaysia Rapid Transit System Sdn Bhd (MRTS) as the collaborative partner to Adil Permata Sdn Bhd (APSB) the main contractor of the Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link project.
The government has received notification from Adil Permata Sdn Bhd in regard to its “white knight” to take over the company and its RM3.7 billion Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link) project connecting Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru to Woodlands in Singapore, according to Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.
BUSINESSMAN Tan Sri Lim Kang Hoo is understood to be looking to take over Adil Permata Sdn Bhd, the company given the mandate to build a RM3.7 billion rail link connecting Bukit Chagar in Johor Baru to Woodlands in Singapore, dubbed the Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link), sources say. “It’s a matter of fulfilling some conditions (precedents), then he will take over Adil Permata. From what we gather, it’s a done deal,” one source says. Another source from Johor says he has heard that Lim was brought in to speed things up at the RTS Link.
