Rail project good for economy


FORMER prime ministers Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin may be political rivals, but they both agree on the need to revive the High-Speed Rail (HSR) project.

They spoke about this on separate occasions in the Dewan Rakyat during the debates on the 12th Malaysia Plan. Both had argued that the mammoth infrastructure project could help kickstart the Malaysian economy, which has been battered by the Covid-19 pandemic.
