GEORGE TOWN: RTM’s free broadcast of selected World Cup football matches will not incur any cost to the Government, says Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Although the Government allocated RM30mil for the rights to air the matches on RTM, he said they had secured sponsorships totalling the same amount.
