Why the RM100 million price tag for a 1km line extension at KLIA, asks Public Accounts Committee
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has raised its concerns over the RM100 million price tag to extend the KLIA Ekspres rail line by only 1km to link the KL International Airport (KLIA) and klia2.
PAC chairman Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed (pic) said that the new airport’s main contractor, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), should have borne the cost instead of making taxpayers pay for it as the extension is in the airport’s compound.
“Even though the distance is only 1km, but the construction cost footed by the government is RM100 million.
“Also, passengers will be charged for airport transfer between KLIA and klia2,” Nur Jazlan said in a press conference after proceedings with low-cost carrier Air Asia in Parliament today.
He added that the extension of the link should have been added as part of the klia2 project as it is in the same area.
“We want to know the rationale behind this, given the extension costs, it should have been taken into account.”
