Interestingly, Gamuda Bhd — which has undertaken most of the mega infrastructure projects in the country — was not on the list of companies that met with the government agencies.
The federal government has had meetings with several parties in the private sector to gauge their interest in pursuing the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR), a mega project that was said to cost about RM60 billion in 2020, say sources.
It is understood that five companies were invited for a meeting with two government agencies recently. The invited parties were Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary-controlled MMC Corp Bhd, Tan Sri Desmond Lim Siew Choon-controlled WCT Holdings Bhd, YTL Group, Tan Sri Vincent Tan Chee Yioun-controlled Berjaya Group Bhd and Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB).
