The finance minister says the figure touted by the former works minister fails to include other costs, including land reclamation. FMTNews PanBorneoHighway
Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng says detractors are intentionally misleading the public about the cost of the Sarawak’s portion of the Pan Borneo Highway.
The finance minister said other costs incurred in the construction, including land reclamation, had not been mentioned by those questioning the figure. Lim went on to note that detractors had questioned how the government was able to save RM3.1 billion by cancelling an agreement with the PDP of the highway and claiming that the construction cost was RM16.5 billion.
“The estimated total cost of the Sarawak portion of the Pan Borneo Highway is actually RM18.8 billion, which was presented to the Cabinet last year.”
