Selangor executive councillor Datuk Teng Chang Khim stated: 'Putrajaya acted like a “big bully” in steamrolling through the latest version of the ambitious East Coast Rail Link (ECRL)’. This is obviously full of politicised elements and is opposed for the sake of opposing.

People’s well-being and the nation’s economic benefits should be the main considerations. What must be considered is the impact of the ECRL on the environment, the Orang Asli villages and water catchment areas, so as not to cause trouble to the people.
