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.

PETALING JAYA: The World Bank's blacklisting of the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) has no bearing on Malaysia awarding it the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) contract, said Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan.

The Minister in the Prime Minister's Department said this is because the project is not a road or a bridge project, adding that the ECRL is not funded by the World Bank.
