Rafizi Ramli

PETALING JAYA: PKR MP Rafizi Ramli (pic) has gotten it all wrong again when he claimed that the Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit (MRT1) was double the price of similar projects in Spain and South Korea, said Barisan Nasional’s strategic communications team.

The team, in a statement, noted that Rafizi had claimed on Tuesday that while MRT1 cost US$103mil per kilometre, the Seoul Line 9 MRT project only cost US$43mil (RM192.73mil) per kilometre.
