Guan Eng says Najib aware of exact cost for LRT3

KUALA LUMPUR: Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng said the former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak was aware of the exact cost of the Light Rail Transit Line 3 (LRT3).
Lim, who was speaking at a special luncheon during the Associated Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Malaysia's (ACCCIM) AGM today, said that Najib had attended the meetings.
Last week, Lim announced that the final cost for LRT3 has been reduced by 47% from RM31.65 billion to RM16.63 billion, saving Malaysians a total of RM15.02 billion.
"It looks like a miracle but it's not because the original cost was overstated," he said, adding that the project must go ahead as traffic will worsen.
