Malaysian govt advisory council says to review all mega projects

Daim Zainuddin says all mega projects will be reviewed and recommendations presented to the government.

KUALA LUMPUR:
The chairman of an advisory council set up by the new Malaysian government said on Friday that all mega projects in the country would be reviewed and recommendations would be presented to the government.

“We have to review all mega projects. If it is not to our advantage, then we have to sit down and talk…,” Daim Zainuddin told reporters.

The advisory group was set up by the newly elected Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.

Daim also said the government expects to raise about 30 billion ringgit from a reinstated sales and services tax (SST). The new government introduced SST after scrapping the goods and service tax (GST).
