Firdausi Suffian of Sabah UiTM wonders “who will finance this” while transport expert Wan Agyl Wan Hassan asks if infrastructure should be for profit or to enable economic growth in the region.
Infrastructure expert Wan Agyl Wan Hassan said that the proposed Trans-Borneo Railway project would improve the mobility of resources and people.
Firdausi Suffian of Sabah UiTM said the proposed railway would improve the productivity of both states. As it would require a lot of people, employment opportunities would be created. “But who is going to finance this?” The idea of a Trans-Borneo Railway was first suggested by former prime minister Najib Razak to Indonesian president Joko Widodo in 2015. Earlier this month, the federal government said it had agreed to consider the proposal, with transport minister Loke Siew Fook announcing that a feasibility study would be conducted.
“This railway not only will solve the problem , but the Borneo economy will flourish. With Nusantara in Kalimantan to be built as the next capital city of Indonesia, this will definitely have an impact,” he told FMT.
