Blame game in LRT3 project


PETALING JAYA: Syarikat Prasarana Negara Bhd and the project delivery partner (PDP) are blaming each other for the cost escalation in the Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT3) project.

In a report to the Finance Ministry, Prasarana contended that the PDP of Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd and George Kent Bhd (MRCB-GK) failed to carry out its duties extensively resulting in awards being given out that cumulatively resulted in the project exceeding the budget of RM9bil.
