CHINA KEEN ON KLANG RIVER REHABILITATION PROJECT
SHAH ALAM (Selangor, Malaysia), July 21 (Bernama) -- China is keen to participate in the RM10 billion (US$3.34 billion) Klang River rehabilitation project that will provide the impetus to stimulate economic growth in state of Selangor.
Chief Minister Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said he was informed that a delegation from a government-linked company, China State Construction Engineering Corp (CSCEC), was scheduled to make a visit to Malaysia to conduct a survey and feasibility study on the project.
CSCEC is the largest construction company and the largest international general contractor in China.
"This is an exploratory exercise in order to ensure we have the right people and partners for our Klang River development.
"The delegation has agreed to visit Malaysia and conduct survey and
feasibility study on the project in a professional manner and how it can add value to relevant stakeholders and interested parties," he told reporters after chairing the weekly state executive council meeting here Wednesday.
The Selangor Government, in its economic stimulus package, has identified six major areas to spur economic growth.
They are cleaning and rehabilitating the Klang River; expanding the
transportation system; upgrading and replacing water assets; urban renewal programme; reviving abandoned housing projects; and, increasing paddy yield.
