Terengganu Menteri Besar Dr Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has urged the federal government to increase the scope of involvement of local contractors in the East Coast Rail Link project from 40 percent to 50 percent.
He said the increase would also enable local contractors to engage more actively, as they have the necessary expertise such as electrical work. "If possible, we want to renegotiate again and ask the federal government to consider expanding this scope to at least half of the entire project in Terengganu,” he told reporters after attending a Kumpulan Aktivitis Media Independen charity dinner in Kuala Nerus last night.
In another development, Samsuri said the state government had instructed local authorities to monitor industrial and factory safety risks to avoid unwanted incidents.
Someone from pakatanharapan_ must tell Malaysians what will be ECRL operating losses every year. When Penang-KL KTM ETS is bleeding profusely at heavily subsidised fare of RM59 ... what about ECRL low ridership route at RM500 ? tonypua can you tell us ?
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
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
Then please count me out as a potential ECRL passenger.
