Look at the big picture before griping about infrastructure spending, PM tells Opposition lawmaker

KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim rejected claims that the government is overspending on major infrastructure projects, saying critics ignore the wider benefits of federal investments reaching multiple states, including Terengganu.

He was responding in the Dewan Rakyat to Datuk Rosol Wahid (PN-Hulu Terengganu), who questioned the rising cost of the Penang Light Rail Transit (LRT) from RM10bil in 2023 to RM13bil and later RM17bil.
