The RM55bil East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) could have been cancelled as quickly as the HSR and MRT 3, but due to legal and loan drawdown issues, further talks with China are needed.

IT is an understatement to say that Malaysians are shocked, with many still trying to come to terms with the mind-boggling losses from the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project.

We read that Malaysia could lose as much as RM20bil if the ECRL is cancelled.
