Malaysia's electric train service (ETS) promises to cut travel time from Johor Bahru to Kuala Lumpur to 3.5 hours - about half the current time on a diesel train and comparable to the journey by car or coach, minus the traffic congestion.

Ahead of its expected completion by the end of 2025, CNA spoke to experts, commuters as well as the acting CEO of national rail operator KTM, Ahmad Nizam Mohamed Amin, about concerns of purported delays to the project.
