The potential benefit of HSR and ECRL to the nearby resident

 HSR: High-speed railways can reduce accidents and reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Air and noise pollution. This has obvious advantages for high-speed railway through the town. It can reduce road congestion, save users a lot of time, smooth traffic flow around, relieve traffic congestion in the vicinity. And the completion of high-speed rail will stimulate the growth of small and medium enterprises in the vicinity, which will increase the income of nearby residents and increase the employment rate of nearby residents.
The project will also provide significant economic benefits, such as employment, tourism and construction, as well as growth opportunities in the food and retail sectors.

ECRL( East Coast Rail Line):The proposed East Coast Railway (ECRL) project announced in Malaysia's 2017 budget will bring good news to nearby residents.
The East Coast Railway is expected to have a positive impact on local economic and social sectors.
When the East Coast Line is completed, ECRL will serve as another means of transport for the people, and they can enjoy the benefits of comfort and shorter travel times than land transport.
The ECRL will enhance the potential of Long Win and create more growth centers for the new towns in the surrounding area. The new growth center will indirectly enhance the value of nearby residents and the social economy.
The nearby Center for Learning and Higher Education will use this opportunity to further revitalize the



economy and the tourism sector, which will indirectly create more employment opportunities.

And the service is expected to ease traffic congestion in Paka and Kertih industrial areas, particularly in the morning and at night.
The East Coast can not only smooth traffic flow around the area, but also reduce environmental pollution caused by vehicle emissions in nearby areas.
In addition, if the nearby residents travel by train can save transportation costs, compared to transport from Long to Keer Di, by car or travel by car to spend a day to buy gasoline worth RM10.

And ECRL will stimulate the growth of nearby small and medium enterprises, especially in Kemaman and Besut, which will bring the residents of the nearby economic income growth and improve the employment rate of nearby residents.
The project will provide significant economic benefits, such as employment and tourism and construction, as well as growth opportunities in the food and retail sectors.
This will also serve as a catalyst for the rapid economic development of East Coast countries, particularly Terengganu and its surrounding areas.

Meanwhile, Malay Chamber of Commerce, Terengganu head Ir Azmi Ali said the East Coast Economic Region would potentially derive optimum returns particularly in physical development from the project.He noted that transport communication logistics in Terengganu was trailing far behind other states in the west coast of the peninsula."The train project was seen as infeasible then - Terengganu has too many rivers. But now it has been found that it can be implemented."It will not only benefit the locals; all levels of society would be able to enjoy the spillover," he said.
