After reviving the ECRL, Najib’s Bandar Malaysia project also to be revived

(FMT) – Putrajaya today said the Bandar Malaysia project once promoted by former prime minister Najib Razak would go ahead, some two years after it was abandoned.

The Prime Minister’s Office said the Cabinet had decided that the project would have “significant impact on Malaysia’s economy and will serve as a global hub to further attract high impact global finance, technology and entrepreneurial firms”.

“The project is expected to generate tremendous impact on urban development for Malaysia drawing foreign direct investments and generating an expected gross development value (GDV) of RM140 billion,” the statement said.

The announcement of the project’s revival comes exactly a week after the government gave its green light for the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project.
