This follows claims by fugitive blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin alleging that the new ECRL deal negotiated by Malaysia’s special envoy to China, Tun Daim Zainuddin — which will see the project’s price tag reduced to RM44 billion compared to RM65.5 billion — will include a trade off of 4,500 acres of land to be developed by China Communications Construction Company Ltd

“So far I think we have not been informed that additional 4,500 acres of land have been given for free. I don’t think so but if it is paid then that’s a different question, but given for free, definitely not true,” he said to the press after witnessing the signing of an agreement for the Industrial Collaboration Program between the government of Malaysia and Bombardier Hartasuma Consortium at the Ministry of Finance here today.
