GEORGE TOWN, March 30 — The Penang state government has put a request for a proposal exercise for its Bayan Lepas Light Rail Transit project on hold pending discussions with Putrajaya on funding for the project.
He said all major urban rail projects are funded by the federal government so this project should also be federally funded. Zairil said if they were to call for an RFP and appoint a contractor now, the contractor will have a contractual expectation to implement the project and be paid for it. The BLLRT had obtained conditional approval with 30 prerequisites from the Ministry of Transport back in 2019.
However, the government guarantee was cancelled in December 2020 after a change in the federal government.The state government applied for a final rail scheme approval for the BLLRT project on May 21, 2020.
