History keretapi tanah melayu

Malaysia railway is formerly known as the Malayan
Railway Administration, it came to be known as
KTMB (Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad) after the
government led corporatisation in 1992. As the
only railway operator in Malaysia, the railway
remained wholly owned by the federal government.

The 1,669 Km Malaysia railway system dates back
to the British colonial era, when it was first built to
transport tin. Fares are generally reasonable, but
the low speed of the intercity trains on the narrow
gauge tracks make them not competitive with
other modes of transportation.
