The Gohtong Jaya Fire and Rescue Station in Genting Highlands, a public-private partnership between the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department and Genting Malaysia Bhd (GenM), is expected to be completed by 2027. GenM has been granted a 24-month extension due to the complex terrain. The RM68.3 million station will be partially funded by GenM as part of its CSR initiative, with the government contributing RM39 million. The Fire and Rescue Department is seeking tax exemptions for private companies involved in such CSR projects. Two new Fire Rescue Tender units, worth RM1.73 million, donated by MMC Gamuda KVMRT Sdn Bhd, will be stationed along MRT routes.
