KUALA LUMPUR, April 12 — Malaysia was saving enough to pay for two more Petronas Twin Towers with the new price for the East Coast Rail Link , Tun Daim Zainuddin trumpeted today. The former finance minister who led negotiations with Beijing on the project was touting the scale of the price reduction achieved through shortening the alignment by just 5 per cent from the original.
He contrasted this with the new negotiated price of RM44 billion that was effectively a third less than what the previous Barisan Nasional government originally agreed to pay.
