Kklim Supercharged January 19, 2021 Share January 19, 2021 On 1/7/2021 at 5:46 PM, Windwaver said: Since the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government came to power 10 months ago, at least two other tracks which traverse Kuala Lumpur's greater metropolitan area have faced government intervention over the selection of contractors. The RM4.4 billion (S$1.45 billion) Klang Valley Double Tracking Phase 2 (KVDT2) deal was terminated abruptly last August after Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong said the award should be retendered, leading to a civil suit by the appointed firm, Dhaya Maju LTAT. The secretary-general of opposition Democratic Action Party noted that the anti-graft agency had also opened a probe into Prasarana following revelations that it could pay out RM80 million in compensation to a developer partly owned by Mr Tajuddin's family, and the RM1 billion owed in the LRT3 construction. Sounds..............fishy? Fishy and common Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didu Supercharged January 19, 2021 Share January 19, 2021 HSR termination will not affect overall plans for Jurong: Ong (dated Jan 5th, 2021) The termination of the proposed high-speed rail project will not affect overall plans for the Jurong Lake District (JLD), said Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung yesterday. He told Parliament that the Ministry of National Development had started planning to transform Jurong as early as 2008, as part of a broader effort to develop urban centres outside the Central Business District. The plans for the JLD were therefore developed well before Malaysia proposed the current HSR project, Mr Ong said. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/politics/hsr-termination-will-not-affect-overall-plans-for-jurong-ong Do you find it strange govt can announce first, "Don't worry people, our CBD plan for JLD is still intact." Then later start reaching out to solicit for a plan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
