Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad gives an exclusive interview to the South China Morning Post.
[size=1.28571]Malaysian Prime Minister [size=1.28571]Mahathir Mohamad
said on Thursday he would give the green light to the China-backed East Coast Rail Link project he had previously wanted to dump – but only if the Chinese contractor agreed to a significant price reduction.
[size=1.28571]Doing so could be cheaper than cancelling the project, which would incur a hefty penalty, the prime minister told the South China Morning Post in his first interview with foreign media this year.
[size=1.28571]Soon after his election victory last May, Mahathir had said the 688km rail link – to have cost some 55 billion ringgit (US$13 billion) – needed to be cancelled because it was unnecessary and too expensive given the huge sovereign debt his predecessor Najib Razak had saddled the country with.
