The Government of Malaysia expects the feasibility study for the Trans-Borneo Railway Project to be completed in 2026. The study will evaluate technical, commercial, socioeconomic, and financing aspects of railway development in Sabah and Sarawak.

The findings will support future railway applications and enhance logistics and connectivity in the region. The study, which spans 12 months, aims to improve transportation links between major cities in East Malaysia. The government hopes the project will contribute to regional economic growth and improve infrastructure efficiency. The study’s results will inform planning and decision-making for railway expansion in Borneo.
