Permodalan Kedah Bhd (PKB) has inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Royal Eco Train Development, Republic of Korea (RETD Korea), for the Light Rapid Transit (LRT) project in Langkawi, Kedah, Malaysia.

Through a thorough feasibility study and the subsequent presentation of a detailed proposal, this endeavor aims to determine the length of the Maglev train line, identify suitable station locations, and plan the necessary infrastructure. Initially, the focus was on developing this service from the Kuah Ferry Terminal to Cenang Beach. The project will be executed in stages before being extended to other tourist destinations in Langkawi. Leveraging the Maglev Technology System and Transit Oriented Developments, this initiative aims to enhance transportation infrastructure and connectivity in the region.
