Commenting on the award, Zohari said Prasarana was honoured to be recognised by such a distinguished establishment and a prestigious award to be a world-class public transport provider in Malaysia.

“It is the clearly written in our vision to be the preferred provider of world-class mass public transport system. Like the MCBC, Prasarana has gone a long way in the transformation of the country’s urban public transport system in line with the government’s National Transformation Programme.

“Like all the previous awards and recognition accorded to us, the MCBC Business Excellence Award will spur us at Prasarana to strive harder in taking our rail and bus services to higher levels as we help push the Government’s aspiration of increasing the public transport modal share to 40 percent by 2030,” he added.
