PETALING JAYA: The Penang government has awarded the RM6.34bil Major Roads and Tunnel project to an “82-day-old” company, said Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic).

The MCA deputy president said this contradicted the state government’s previous claim that the special purpose vehicle (SPV) had a paid-up capital of RM4.5bil.
