MONTREAL (AFP): Canadian engineering firms Bombardier and SNC-
Lavalin have won a contract to build a metro system in Kuala
Lumpur with the first stations scheduled to open in 1998.

Montreal-based Bombardier was to build 70 wagons that were to
have automatic pilot systems, company officials said in a
statement.

The contract was reported worth $961 million (US$711 million).

SNC-Lavalin was to design the 30-kilometer (18-mile) transport
system based on Vancouver's lightweight "Skytrain."
