Abstract
This paper discusses the implication of OBOR initiatives on Malaysia’s development
of transport infrastructure. Currently, there are several projects being undertaken that are
linked to the OBOR strategy, such as the industrial park and maritime industry park, port
alliances, port expansions, and electrified doubled tracking railways. These projects have
created potential to promote economic development on the east coast of Malaysia and
southern part of Peninsular Malaysia, boost trade and investment for seaports, promote
maritime tourism, increase demand for refuge seaports in Malacca Straits, and enhance
freight for utilizing dry ports. The introduction of high speed rail and rapid transit systems
improve the development of passenger transportation between
Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore. These OBOR initiatives will enhance connectivity between
Malaysia and other South East Asia countries offering opportunities for trade and
development.
