The PO, dated September 25, 2023, is for the supply, delivery, and assistance during the testing and commissioning of the low-voltage electrical switchboards and associated equipment components for the RTS Link.
These orders, related to Package 4 (station and operations control centre) and Package 6 (depot and power supply), are collectively valued at RM9.27 million.

"Being entrusted with a part of the RTS Link showcases our credibility and capability in delivering top-notch electrical solutions," she said in a statement.
These contracts are expected to contribute positively to the PHB's consolidated earnings and net assets for the financial year ending March 31, 2025 (FY25).
The RTS Link, a pivotal infrastructure project, will enhance connectivity between Wadi Hana Depot and Bukit Chagar in Johor Bahru and Woodlands in Singapore.
According to Wong, PHB prioritises the timely delivery of the project to guarantee the progression of the RTS construction.
"Our primary attention is centred on producing the electrical boards to prevent construction delays.
"We are well-equipped to leverage our expertise and guarantee punctual delivery," she said.
The government's investment in infrastructure and development projects, such as the RTS Link, underscores a broader ambition to strengthen Malaysia's regional ties and drive its economic resurgence.
Leveraging its profound power control and distribution expertise, PHB is poised to be a cornerstone in this endeavour.
"As infrastructural undertakings, like the RTS Link, demand intricate and robust power setups, PHB's innovation ensures timely project rollouts with enduring operational excellence, reinforcing that superior power control is essential for successful infrastructure advancement," Wong added.
