KUALA LUMPUR: The East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) will continue as
planned unless the company involved in the project can negotiate
with China, says Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
The Prime Minister said that he is willing to follow if the company
can renegotiate the deal and suspend the project.
"The company has to conduct negotiations. If they are willing to
negotiate with the Chinese and tell me that they can suspend the
project, I will follow them," said Dr Mahathir.
He was asked to respond to a statement by former Council of
Eminent Persons' and economist Professor Jomo Kwame Sundram,
who had called for the government to re-examine the ECRL project
once again after a witness in the 1MDB trial testified in court that
the project was a possible bail-out.
