Rahman Dahlan: Save on LRT3 now, pay more later

PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Dahlan (pic) says that the RM15.02bil cost reduction for the light rail transit 3 (LRT3) is not savings, but a reduced scale of the project that will cost more to upgrade in the future.

"Come on, stripped down version of LRT3 is not savings at all. It's just a reduced scale LRT," said Abdul Rahman in a series of tweets on Friday (July 13).

"Many years later when the line needs to be upgraded to the original specifications and scale, the cost would surely be more than today," said the former minister in the Prime Minister's Department.

Rahman Dahlan used to hold the former Economic Planning Unit portfolio, which oversaw the implementation of projects, including the LRT3.

Abdul Rahman's comments comes after Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng announced that the final cost for LRT3 had been reduced by 47% to RM16.63bil, saving Malaysians a total of RM15.02bil.

Some steps taken to reduce costs include shelving the construction of five stations with low projected passenger ridership, and reducing the order of 42 sets of six-car trains to 22 sets of three-car trains.

"The idea of LRT and MRT is connectivity. If you reduce terminals or stations, the transport systems lose their effectiveness," said Abdul Rahman.

"To make LRT and MRT successful, you need to cover as many areas as possible. "Medium-density areas today will become high-density in the near future," he said.

Abdul Rahman also noted that the "off and on again" decisions on LRT3 has "played havoc" on certain companies' shares on the local stock market.

So the offers of halved the costs for HSR that Lim GE claimed to have received is also like that? Ok lah cut away all the stations except KL and Spore hahaha bye bye batu pahat station. Not bad idea actually.

Or is halved the costs means asking Singapore to pay much more for it and they pay much less for it? That is not called savings but taking advantage!

So reduce scale of project is called achieve 47% savings LOL like that very easy to achieve savings, don’t do is the best way to achieve 100% savings!

That’s the difference between a government that thinks short term and a government that thinks long term. Achieve cost savings at the expense of future problem. Everything don’t spend the best savings, let the future government take care of it!

Penny wise pound foolish..just like HDB built flats without a lift and upgrade decades later at higher cost. Very typical fuckien attitude.

what the m&ds should do is to officially inform the pappies and pay compensation for all costs that have been undertaken. both sides pay for whatever is in their territory henceforth, and everyone walks away happy - and if they stall the project in their country, the ball is in their court and the pappies can come out smelling like roses

sinkies should be proud and happy of how the smrt is planned, funded, built, and operated. the mudlaysia transit systems will be like the joke that bart is in the bay area. originally the sillycon valley extension from fremont to san jose was supposed to include the irvington and calaveras stations but due to cost overruns they scrapped those stations. the milpitas and berryessa stations are supposed to be in operation in 2017 but due to budget overruns, construction delays, and problems with new trains the service launch is now postponed to 2019. it’s already 2nd half of 2018 and they haven’t finished construction of both stations yet, with probably another delay into 2019 before trains can go on test runs. it will be the same with mudlaysia rapid transit systems. a lot of pussyfooting and shenanigans. nothing gets done on time and within budget.

That’s different. Maybe at the time they never thought of people getting old and cannot climb stairs.

So do the angmohs call these cost overruns and cutting stations as achieving costs savings? I bet they don’t. In mudland, also got people do extensive renovation to double house size and yet did halfway and then disappeared. Cost overrun and deserted project.

 

[frenchbriefs]

poor poor m&ds.........this is what happens when u want to spend more money to grow the economy but ur country doesnt have any money,best to stay far far away from such things.......until mudland learns to formulate their country after sinkieland,how to suck and squeeze every drop out of ur citizens dry,and force them to work long hours for peanuts......only when ur coffers are full and overflowing can u embark on such wanton spending.

in angmo land major construction projects have contractors who kickback ill gotten gains to corrupt tenderers by jacking up overtime charges and delaying projects at the same time. that’s why must close this loophole by penalizing late work and rewarding those who finish ahead of schedule with bonuses and incentives. closing any hole is always difficult as it's tough to remain a virgin for long with so many probing pricks running around.
