‘Let me undertake the ECRL project for half the price’

I would like to urge transport minister, Loke Siew Fook, to be fully transparent about the cost elements that make up the East Coast Rail Link’s (ECRL) mammoth RM75 billion price tag.
This new figure eclipses all the previous figures quoted by former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamed and Loke himself (when they were in the previous PH government) and Wee Ka Siong, who took over from Loke in March 2020.
Even after Wee amended the route by swapping the south alignment for a more northern route, the cost quoted was only RM55 billion.
