KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 3): The government has not yet finalised the alignment and stations of Section C of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) from Pahang to Port Klang, Selangor, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Seong.

“This process must be done by the government, taking into account several factors such as project viability, rail interconnectivity and the financial implications before approval is given for this alignment,” said Wee.

Wee was responding to questions from Datuk Jalaluddin Alias (Jelebu-BN) in Dewan Rakyat today about whether the government will go back to the original ECRL alignment proposed by the Barisan Nasional (BN) administration from the new alignment proposed by the Pakatan Harapan administration.

The Edge Malaysia weekly reported on July 6 that a plan was being mooted by officials of the Ministry of Transport (MoT) to change the ECRL alignment yet again to the original alignment.
