In a statement today, the company under Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) said it had exchanged memoranda of understanding in conjunction with Mara’s 60th anniversary celebration at the World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

Mara Liner CEO Wan Agyl Wan Hassan said the partnerships “reaffirm Mara Liner’s commitment to delivering forward-looking mobility solutions and contributing to a more connected, efficient, and competitive transport ecosystem for Malaysia”.

The company said its collaboration with Berjaya Rail would cover fleet leasing structures; maintenance, repair, and overhaul modernisation; and joint exploration of rolling stock development.

Berjaya Corporation founder Vincent Tan said the partnership supports national localisation objectives, strengthens domestic supply chains, and enhances Bumiputera participation.

“By combining Berjaya’s diverse industrial expertise with Mara’s deep talent pool, we are building a strong foundation for sustainable local economic growth.

“This is not merely about business; it is about fostering a resilient and self-sustaining Malaysian economy,” he said.

The other strategic partners are Bateriku (M) Sdn Bhd, Katsana Holdings Sdn Bhd, Tuxuri Sdn Bhd, Tron Bradbury Energy (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, and Grab 1 Malaysia.

These collaborations will introduce enhancements such as intelligent fleet management systems, predictive maintenance frameworks, geospatial analytics, electric vehicle ecosystem development, and improved first- and last-mile connectivity solutions.
