Lukewarm response to LRT3 rolling stock tender


THE weak ringgit has caused a new problem. The tender for the rolling stock for the third light rail transit (LRT3) project has seen only one party submit a bid that is causing a headache for the project delivery partner (PDP).

MRCB George Kent Sdn Bhd, which is the PDP for LRT3, is said to be in a dilemma. Accepting the tender will mean that it has no wriggle room to determine if the tender for the rolling stock is what the “competitive price” should be.
