KTK DOM RAILWAY SDN BHD (Subsidiary of DOM Industries Sdn Bhd) has been selected for Rail Industry Development Programme (RIDP) under the Strategic Industries and High-Performance SME Improvement Programme (Prestige). Realising the importance of development in the rail industry, the Transport Ministry has partnered with the Technology Depository Agency (TDA)to conduct vendor development programmes for industry players.
Under RIDP, local industry players will be identified according to their respective expertise and technology transfer opportunities from original equipment manufacturers (OEM), and will be matched with anchor companies to ensure local companies have the opportunity to increase capacity and capability so that they will remain viable and be able to compete in the international market.
KTK DOM RAILWAY will undergo an international accreditation programme, which is the International Railway Industry Standard, so that they are eligible to participate in local rail projects and compete internationally. This is the first-ever certification programme held for the rail industry in Malaysia. KTK DOM RAILWAY will also undergo the Professional Training Programme (Safety Rail & Sustainable Rail) and will be assisted in a more structured and targeted industrial capacity building programme. With RIDP, we will be able to reduce our dependence on foreign suppliers, and at the same time be able to reduce financial outflows.
