Govt sets 2023 for MRT2 to be up and running


PUTRAJAYA: The government wants the Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya (MRT2 or SSP Line) project to be on time so that it will be operational by 2023, while remaining within the revised cost of RM30.53bil, says Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng (pic).

He said following a cost-cutting exercise, the government has managed to shave RM8.82bil or 22.4% of the original construction cost of the line, which was RM39.35bil.
