KOTA KINABALU: Sabah Chief Minister Mohd Shafie Apdal said the state government is concerned over the Trans-Sabah Gas Pipeline (TSGP) project and wants more details.
He said that he understood that the project was handled by Suria Strategic Energy Resources Sdn Bhd (SSER) which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the finance ministry.
“I will meet up with (Finance Minister) Lim Guan Eng soon to get further details and to see what the federal government intends to do about the project,” he said in a statement tonight.
He said the state government needed to study in detail what the project entails and how it would benefit the people and what it costs, among others.
It was recently reported by the media that TSGP would be funded by a soft loan of RM4.53 billion from a bank in China and guaranteed by the Malaysian government.
