‘Blacklisting of construction firm has no bearing on ECRL project’

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

The Minister in the Prime Minis­ter’s Department said the ECRL was not a road or bridge project and was not funded by the World Bank.
