Sarawak-Kalimantan railway proposal needs federal-level discussions, says state minister


KUCHING: A proposal to build a railway line to connect Sarawak and Kalimantan will require a higher level of discussions between the governments of Malaysia and Indonesia, says Sarawak Transport Minister Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin.

He said while his ministry took note of the proposal made by Stakan assemblyman Datuk Hamzah Brahim at the current state assembly sitting, the matter could only be decided at the federal level.
