MUAR: Several mega projects that do not require additional funding will be continued to provide economic opportunities as the government seeks to boost the country's economy following COVID-19, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said.

Although enormous expenses were being spent to deal with the problems caused by COVID-19, the Prime Minister said another strategy to provide other economic opportunities was by continuing mega projects that had already been decided.

"These include the project that we have decided, namely the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed ​​Rail project, which will stop at various stations, including the Pagoh Education Hub," he said at a dialogue during a meeting with community leaders from the Pagoh parliamentary constituency here on Saturday.

At the same time, he welcomed the involvement of the private sector in the project, as it could assist the government in reducing its burden in implementing the HSR project.
