KUALA LUMPUR: The Sungai Buloh-Kajang (SBK) MRT Line was a "success story" because the project was carried out via a direct funding process and not through concessionaires, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak (pic).

He said this method allowed the Government to monitor and control the construction of the MRT line more closely, which commenced in July 2011.
