The prime minister said negotiations with ECRL contractor, China Communications Construction Company, were ongoing and that Malaysia hoped to significantly reduce the project cost from the current RM55 billion. Dr Mahathir also admitted that it was “going to be very difficult” to come to a resolution soon on the ECRL.
On February 19, it was reported that discussions between the prime minister’s advisor Tun Daim Zainuddin and China to reduce the size and cost of the ECRL project had reached the ‘last mile’.
COMMON SENSE SHALL PREVAIL.
With ecrl China will benefit 100x more than we ever will. They will benefit a hundred fold even if they paid us to build it for us. We should build things ourselves and in our own time with technology and expertise we learned over a period of development and growth.
With ECRL, business will expand, perhaps boom and population will grow when ppl there happy & contended wt good rail transport 2 travel 2 KL in comfort & safety.
Yet, you are still planning on continuing the project with an inflated cost. If the project doesnt make any economic sense, then cancel it. What are you waiting for? Have to make it as if the rakyat wants the project to be done and your cronies will get it done and gets richer?
Excuses
If only you had bothered developing the east coast back when u were PM4, their pop n businesses might have grown. Alas u were only interested in enriching yourself n cronies
Finally- someone making sense. This must be the first criteria.
Betul..takda economy of scale pun. Kalau tambang dah 3 ke 4 ratus baik naik firefly chedetofficial
Now he makes sense.
