WHILE Malaysia and China negotiate the RM55 billion price tag for the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project, other parties are offering to do it for as low as RM10 billion, Dr Mahathir Mohamad told The Malaysian Insight.
Without naming these parties, the prime minister said Putrajaya would definitely consider the cheaper alternatives because it would be “stupid” to ignore them.

Companies better not compromise on heath safety and environment. These must be maintained at the highest standards.

Reducing the price tag from RM50 B to RM 10B should be ample to pay any compensation to tthose 'blood sucking' companies with whom our ex PM the Bugis warrior signed the earlier agreement. China;s big talk abour being against corruption sounds very hollow.

Cutting cost of any project is always a business success story. Customers are lured to those supermarkets which can sell the good cheapest. That is my main priority when I do shopping. It is indeed a very miserable feeling of being made a sucker, when when someone else can get the same goods cheaper. You are on the right track TDM. My 100% support even if you can reduce the price by half. .

Isn't the purpose of all of these projects to indebt countries to China? By refusing the offer to build it for 55M, is Dr M somehow giving offense?
