Lim Guan Eng says that as a non-minister, Daim Zainuddin will be able to discuss a wide range of topics, free from government-to-government protocol. guanenglim ecrl daimzainuddin
GEORGE TOWN: Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng has backed the appointment of Daim Zainuddin as the key negotiator with China on the East Coast Rail Link project, saying the government adviser is the best person for the job.
He added that Daim’s years of experience as a “skilled negotiator” make him the best person to guard Malaysia’s interests. “He is also a trusted adviser of the prime minister. After the talks, Daim can advise the Cabinet, and the Cabinet will discuss what to do and how to proceed,” Lim said. Reuters reported in January that China had offered to slash the cost of the US$20 billion project by nearly half.
