The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) crew uniform has been revealed for the first time, ahead of the rail line’s expected January 2027 launch.
There are two versions of the uniform – one for train crew and another for station service crew – and both have a design that uses songket and batik flower motifs, just like the ECRL logo itself. ECRL says that the motif is a manifestation of its identity and aspirations, combining the beauty of Malaysia’s traditional artistic heritage with a contemporary touch that symbolises the country’s progress and future.
“Inspiration from the ECRL logo is translated into a dynamic arrangement of flower motifs against the backdrop of track elements, symbolising movement, continuity and networks that connect people, communities and regions.
“The songket element was chosen as a symbol of elegance, grandeur and Malay heritage, while the batik touch reflects the uniqueness of local art that is synonymous with the identity and culture of the East Coast. The combination of these two elements tells the story of Malaysia, a country that values its cultural roots, but continues to move forward,” ECRL says.
The 665 km ECRL connecting the East Coast to the Klang Valley will have 11 EMU train sets, which will have six cars each. One EMU can ferry 425 passengers in a full economy class configuration. The 160 km/h train will have toilets, luggage racks, F&B counter, bilik solat with wuduk area and OKU-friendly features. There will be mobile phone reception throughout the alignment.
It is expected to start operations in January 2027, and Malaysians can balik kampung for Hari Raya Aidilfitri next year with the new trains.
this is bad news, as more people from SG4 states will come to destroy the harmony and propsperity of kalng valley.
yes PMX failed to protect our independence and he even sold proton to geely and sold ECRL to china, sorry wait my mistake that was done by a different PM
What are talking about? China is the leader in train tech and theirs are the cheapest with proven reliability…..no western tech or Jap tech can beat China in proven tech and value for money.
Go suck a railroad spike, you PRC POS cybertrooper. Honda energy efficient engines remains unbeaten. China tries, but their ICE engines are truly not Japan level efficient yet. Or even Europe level. Hence why they dumped all their stocks into EVs. Electric motors are way easier to optimize, literally program that thing to be efficient. We have real world testimonies instead of your propagandist bs. Geely’s new efficient engine isn’t exactly what’s in the Protons right now, is it?! No matter how much you whine online, Honda/Toyota/Perodua still sitting pretty near the Top 10 because people can see it in the petrol bills of the China car users. And even more so due to the idiotic war in the ME.
Looks like chennai railway
but the crew in chennai dont wear cloth to cover head
The composition of the crew members doesn’t reflect the multiracial Malaysia. Only one race is more prominent.
