PETALING JAYA: The cost of the above-ground portion of the Mass Rapid Transit 2 (MRT2) project has been lowered to RM17.42 bil, from RM22.64bil earlier, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said.

“This is a RM5.22 billion or 23% savings achieved through a reduction in cost and rationalisation in work scope without cancelling any of the above-ground stations,” he said in a statement on Sunday (Oct 7).
