KUALA LUMPUR: Prasarana Malaysia Bhd has picked Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd and George Kent (M) Bhd as the project delivery partner (PDP) for the light rail transit three, which is estimated to cost RM9bil.

The group said the RM9bil excludes the land acquisition costs.

Funds for the project would be financed via the issuance of Sukuk, of which the coupon rate will be decided later. Local institutions have shown interest on the financing for the project through its sukuk issuance.
