RAWANG: SCOMI Engineering Bhd is in talks with several parties, including from China, for potential partnerships. It has always been Scomi’s plan to improve its balance sheet via strategic partnerships with foreign partners. The RM173 million Line 17 contract was awarded to Scomi in 2013 and entails a total of 14 five-car monorail train sets. Eight will be manufactured in Malaysia while four will be built in Sao Paulo, Brazil. “The capacity for the Brazil monorail is now almost the same as the light rail transit,” Rohaida said.
