Malaysia Seeks To Reroute $10.6 Billion Belt-and-road Rail Project

It contracted the Malaysian unit of China Communications Construction Co Ltd, CCC-ECRL, to build the line.

Deputy Transport Minister Hasbi Habibollah in parliament on Tuesday said the government plans to revert to the original route detailed in 2017 but with minor changes around the south of the capital Kuala Lumpur.

“The government will renegotiate with the Chinese government and the main contractor of the project to ascertain the cost implication and project implementation schedule,” Hasbi said.

He said the results of the renegotiation will be presented to the government to finalise the route.
