Daim: Renegotiated ECRL offers plenty of opportunities to local contractors


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The renegotiated East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project offers plenty of opportunities to local contractors, including bumiputras, in public works like supplies and technical aspects, says Tun Daim Zainuddin.

Daim, the prime minister's special envoy who successfully renegotiated the project with the Chinese government on April 12, said local contractors should seize these opportunities as the project offers many attractive packages that will change the country's economic landscape, and it will be a loss to let these chances slip.
