PUTRAJAYA: The GST relief granted to the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project should not be made an issue because this is not the first time mega projects have been given tax break, says Customs director-general Datuk Seri Subromaniam Tholasy.

The SMART tunnel, Bukit Jalil Sports Stadium, KLIA and MRT were among the projects that received relief from Sales and Service Tax and import duties, for example.
