This latest achievement marks the company's fourth ISO accreditation in just two years. In a press release, Sarawak Metro said the ISO 37001:2016 ABMS certificate was formally presented to its chief executive officer Mazli Mustaffa by Sirim Sarawak regional director Shahrizan Mohammad Sahmoni during Sarawak Economic Development Corporation's (SEDC) Governance, Integrity, and Anti-Corruption Reinforcement Module Course held here on Monday. SEDC chairman Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr Abdul Aziz Husain, who also serves as chairman of Sarawak Metro, witnessed the presentation. In his remarks, Abdul Aziz highlighted that the accreditation reflects the organisation's dedication to strengthening integrity and transparency in its operations. 'This is in line with the values that SEDC has instilled in all of its subsidiary companies,' he stated, while commending Sarawak Metro's perseverance in overcoming challenges throughout the certification process. 'May this recognition be an inspiration and guide for all the other SEDC subsidiaries to achieve continuous excellence,' he said, while pointing out that Sarawak Metro's success in attaining the ABMS certification was the result of the organisation's planned and phased implementation throughout 2024. Aside from strengthening integrity and transparency, through the ISO 37001:2016 ABMS certification, Sarawak Metro also aimed to enhance good governance throughout the entire organisation. The consultancy and development process for the ISO 37001:2016 commenced in August 2023 and was completed at the end of last year. Meanwhile, in early 2023, Sarawak Metro simultaneously attained three internationally recognised standards – ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System; ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System; and ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System.

KUCHING (April 25): Sarawak Metro Sdn Bhd yesterday signed an agreement with DOM EEB Joint Venture International Sdn Bhd (DOM-EEB JV) to implement its Socio-Economic Enhancement Development (SEED) Programme. According to Sarawak Metro in a statement yesterday, the First Tier SEED Programme Agreement is set to enhance the procurement value for the Kuching Urban Transportation System (KUTS) project's System Package 2 contract, which was awarded to DOM-EEB JV. 'Under this agreement, DOM-EEB JV will create opportunities for localisation efforts, enable the transfer of technology and knowledge especially for blue collar workforce, and provide industrial competency development initiatives. 'All these are to be implemented through collaborations related to the technology for the Autonomous Rapid Transit (ART) and hydrogen, as covered under DOM-EEB JV's contract for System Package 2 of the KUTS project. 'System Package 2 involves the design, provision, installation and commissioning of various systems including telecommunications, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), automatic fare collection (AFC), computerised maintenance management systems (CMMS), operation control centre (OCC) and information technology system (ITS) for the operation of the ART vehicles,' it added. Sarawak Metro chief executive officer Mazli Mustaffa signed the agreement with DOM-EEB JV director Vincent Ng, witnessed by chairman of Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) and Sarawak Metro, Tan Sri Datuk Amar Dr Abdul Aziz Hussain. With this signing, Mazli hoped to advance Sarawak Metro's efforts in generating a capable workforce, enabling greater knowledge and expertise sharing, creating employment and economic opportunities, as well as strengthening Sarawak's public transport system. 'Our task is not merely to provide a modern, reliable and sustainable public transport by developing and maintaining the KUTS project, but also develop the local supply chain and create employment opportunities, with our collaborations through the SEED Programme. 'As such, while we take pride in introducing this endeavour in our KUTS project, we require mutual commitment and trust from all our partners to achieve the goals and objectives that we have set,' he added. Meanwhile, DOM Industries Sdn Bhd director Noorfazliyani Mustafa Kamal said: 'We do not see our involvement in the SEED Programme as just a duty, we see it as a privilege and we are fully committed to ensuring that our contributions leave a lasting, positive impact, not just through engineering excellence, but through our responsibility to the Sarawak community. 'This is because we believe that 'true success lies not just in what we build, but how we built it, and for whom it is built',' she added. Initiated and introduced by Sarawak Metro to leverage on the procurement value of the KUTS project, the SEED Programme is similar to the Industrial Collaboration Programme (ICP), which has been implemented for strategic projects throughout the country.
