00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the R.E.D.I.M.E. website.

00:04In a few days, it will be the New Year of the Peasants.

00:06The children who work and study abroad have been returning to their hometowns one after another.

00:10Lu Zhaofu, the Minister of Transport, pointed out that the train services provided by KTM, a Malay railway company,

00:14are the most popular in this year's New Year's return to their hometowns.

00:1890% of the train tickets were successfully sold.

00:21Among them, 77% of the train tickets sold to KTM Intercity, a long-distance train to the east coast.

00:2875% of the train tickets sold to the short-distance train from Singapore to Rofo Xinshan.

00:35The train tickets of the double-track electric train ETS are the most popular.

00:40100,000 tickets were all sold out.

00:45The New Year of the Peasants is coming.

00:46The children of the peasants carry their luggage and return to their hometowns one after another.

00:48Lu Zhaofu, the Minister of Transport, showed up at the Zhonghuan station in Kuala Lumpur today to say goodbye to the children of the peasants

00:52and sent red envelopes to the passengers inside the station.

00:54Lu Zhaofu then held a press conference and pointed out that the train tickets were popular

00:58and the train services were one of the main choices for the New Year's return to their hometowns.

01:02We saw that all the capacity that we offered were sold out.

01:07This shows that the demand is quite high.

01:09However, due to our limited capacity, we are only able to carry more than 100,000 passengers at a time.

01:18In addition, Lu Zhaofu also said that if the Malay Railway Company can provide more trains in the future,

01:23I believe that more people will choose to travel by electric trains instead of driving their own cars.

01:27This is the goal that the government hopes to achieve.

01:29This is what we hope for.

01:31Based on the government's policy, we will continue to focus on rail development

01:37and the KTNB will continue to strive to improve their services.
