KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim has filed a motion to refer Jimmy Puah (PH-Tebrau) to the Parliament’s Rights and Privileges Committee for allegedly liking Israeli starlet Gal Gadot’s post on social media.

PUTRAJAYA: The government will conduct a feasibility study in 2024 for a pan-Borneo railway system, says Anthony Loke.

"We want to see if a rail system can be done in Sabah and Sarawak. We need to consider the economic factor, whether there will be a return of profit. "After that, we need to look into the geographical factors to see if construction is possible and the estimated cost," he said during a press conference here on Monday .

Loke, who is also Seremban MP, said the feasibility study on the pan-Borneo railway system is expected to be completed within 12 months.
