Destini secures two agreements to overhaul electric train components from SMH Rail
KUALA LUMPUR: Destini Bhd 's indirect subsidiary, Trovon Malaysia Sdn Bhd, entered into two agreements to undertake overhaul works on electric train components of 58 train sets operating on the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Line 1 (Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line).
In a Bursa Malaysia filing today, Destini said that Trovon Malaysia entered into two sub-contractor for the supply of parts agreements with SMH Rail Sdn Bhd on June 3, 2025.
It said the company would undertake the overhaul of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and brake caliper equipment fitted to 58 Inspiro platform electric train sets.
The contract amount was not disclosed in the filing.
The works are scheduled to run over a 20-month period from June 2025 to January 2027.
Destini said the agreements mark a significant expansion of Trovon's role in the regional railway maintenance and component overhaul sector.
"Trovon has secured two concurrent scopes with SMH Rail, which cover HVAC and brake caliper overhauls for the MRT Line 1 (Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line), reflecting SMH's confidence in Trovon's ability to deliver rolling stock component reconditioning and upgrades.
"This engagement strengthens Trovon's position as a technically capable and locally embedded subsystem maintainer,' it said.
Destini noted that the project aligned with the Malaysian Rail Supporting Industry Roadmap 2030, which encourages greater local content and reduced dependency on foreign original equipment manufacturers.
"By executing this scope locally with Malaysian engineering and project management capabilities, Trovon contributes meaningfully to the national objective of creating a sustainable and self-reliant rail industry ecosystem,' the company added.
Destini stated that the agreements are expected to contribute positively to the company's earnings for the financial year ending June 30, 2025, and throughout the duration of the project. - Bernama

Malaysia can be Kyrgyz Republic's gateway to ASEAN
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia, which is currently the sixth largest exporter of semiconductors globally, can be Kyrgyz Republic's gateway to ASEAN, said Deputy Investment, Trade and Industry Minister Liew Chin Tong. In return, Malaysia can tap on the strength of the republic as its entry point to Central Asia's region, he said. Kyrgyz Republic, which is a landlocked nation, borders Kazakhstan, China, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The nation was Malaysia's fourth-largest trading partner among Central Asian countries last year, with total bilateral trade valued at US$8.74 million (RM40 million). 'Malaysia used to portray itself as a trading nation but Malaysia is in many ways a sophisticated middle technology nation, including being the sixth largest exporter of semiconductors globally. 'Malaysia and Krygyz Republic are both non-aligned in geopolitics. Such middle ground positioning is hugely important as the world transitions from a unipolar world into a multipolar one,' he said during a meeting between the republic's President Sadyr Zhaparov with Malaysian business communities. Liew also emphasised Malaysia's commitment to build stronger bonds of friendship and cooperation with Kyrgyz Republic. 'With the valuable support of Kyrgyz's leadership, Malaysia is confident that we can explore and reap many opportunities together for a brighter and more prosperous future for our people,' he said. Zhaparov today attended a meeting with representatives of Malaysian companies to explore business cooperation and investment opportunities between the two countries. The meeting, which lasted for over an hour, also witnessed four document exchange ceremonies between Malaysian companies and the republic, involving sectors such as mining and livestock. The president, who arrived in Malaysia yesterday for a two-day official visit, was given an official welcome at the Perdana Putra Complex today, followed by a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Zhaparov also spent nearly an hour visiting the Malaysian Parliament. He departed for home today after wrapping up a two-day official visit to Malaysia.
