If there were no new industries and growth and no cargo to be transported, there would be no purpose to the project, says minister.
The East Coast Rail Link project needs to bring new industries and industrial sector development to the East Coast and spur economic growth that benefits the people.
“Among the new conditions we laid down was to bring new industries to the East Coast. The ECRL is important if there is industrial growth that can generate economic growth and the transfer of industrial cargo to Port Klang,” he said. The two-day seminar, which started yesterday, was officially launched by Melaka Chief Minister Adly Zahari earlier. Also present was Deputy Primary Industries Minister Shamsul Iskandar.
“It is still double track and the alignment and distance is about the same. What happened is that we do not allow them to pass through Gombak as there is a dam there and we do not want any problems . This decision was made when I was the Selangor menteri besar.
