Yong Teck Lee says other mega projects have been continued or revived but the RM4 billion Trans Sabah Gas Pipeline was scrapped. yongtecklee maliaubasin
Former chief minister Yong Teck Lee wonders if the federal government has a hidden agenda.
He wondered if the federal government might have a hidden agenda in cancelling the gas pipeline so as to mine the coal at Maliau for a coal-fired power plant at Sandakan. “Not only was a major energy project in Sabah cancelled, but the Sabah government, being the major stakeholder, was not informed. Yong questioned the rationale for the cancellation. “If, as reported, 88% of the loans had been paid, but only 13% of the work done, then where is the logic of cancelling a project that you have almost paid for?” he said. “Why not get the China contractor to fulfil its part of the contract?”
