said there was no downsizing of scope in the East Coast Rail Link project even though its construction cost was brought down from RM65.5 billion to RM44 billion.

He added the stations cancelled were Bentong, Gombak North, Gombak Integrated Terminal, Telaga Papan, Jelawat, Pengkalan Kubor and Wakaf Bahru. “As such, there will be no downsizing of scope implemented for the project,” he was replying a question by Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong on whether the cost reduction meant a downsizing of scope for the project in Parliament today.

T'ganu wants more local contractors involved in ECRLMB believes the current 40pct allocation is insufficient to mobilise the state economy. Then please count me out as a potential ECRL passenger. How many Malaysians can afford a $500 one way ticket ? And if subsidized .. ECRL will be bigger loss making in billions as the route is unpopular. When KTM ETS for rm60 penang -kl is bleeding .. ECRL is madness when country is struggling Nationwide petrol subsidy was remove on the pretext to save the country's finances. Only later to subsidize a mega loss making ECRL to serve a meager commuter size. Its simply unacceptable that taxpayers are cheated in this manner for pakatanharapan_ popularity race
