Malaysia, which already boasts world-class infrastructure, is pushing ahead with more projects including new rail lines in Kuala Lumpur, the 2,000km Pan Borneo Highway and the West Coast Expressway.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Government will release the feasibility study for the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) when it is finalised, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai in Parliament.

Opposition lawmakers had raised questions over the RM55bil, 620km-long rail line, quoting the project’s own consultant as saying that the estimated value of the ECRL should be about RM29bil.
