KUALA LUMPUR: Prasarana Malaysia Bhd’s (Prasarana) contribution in the transportation sector was given recognition by the prestigious Middle East Business Leaders Awards (MEBLA). The leader in the transformation of Malaysia’s public transport services and operator of Mecca’s Al Mashaaer Al Mugaddassah Metro Southern Line (MMMSL) in Saudi Arabia saw it receive the accolade at the 7th edition of MEBLA, held in London on Feb 17. Prasarana was accorded the award in recognition of its massive contribution in management of public transport operations and development of public transport infrastructure that included the new LRT Line Extension Project, which was officially opened in June last year and South East Asia’s first elevated Bus Rapid Transit system using full-fledged electric buses in Bandar Sunway. Azmi said the award was further recognition to the transformation agenda that had been carried out by the group in revitalising the country’s public transport industry. “As one of the key drivers in public transport transformation, we are indeed honoured to be accorded international recognition of our works and services,” he said yesterday.
