Govt firm in decision to reject new Labu terminal: Najib

The government is firm in its decision to reject the plan by AirAsia Bhd and Sime Darby to build a RM1.6 billion low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) Labu, Negeri Sembilan, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said today.
He said the project cannot be continued according to the original plan as Sime Darby would not pay the RM800 million infrastructure construction cost.
"They will only sell the land to the party that is building the infrastructures. If Airport Malaysia (Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), it means sell to Airports Malaysia...they (Sime Darby) will not pay for the RM800 million infrastructure cost," he told Malaysian journalists covering the Special Asean+3 Finance Ministers' Meeting in this tourist resort here Sunday.
Najib, who is also Finance Minister said he had received confirmation in "black and white" from Sime Darby on the matter.
"If they (Sime Darby) did not contribute, there is no basis for the project to be considered," he said.

tunku : i hope that this is the final decision from the government.Few weeks ago there was news that government has cancelled this project but the next day ong tee kiat said it is stillunder discussion.few days ago in parliament again it was said that it's still under discussion.we hope the government will make an official announcement on their decision on this issue once and for all.

The problems of tony is he collects all advanced Airport Taxes and keep the cash..to claim back if you cancel your trip is like begging him..many he had swallowed...Why should we pay to him instead as and when we check in? The airport tax should be online payment by Malaysia Airport Berhad. We pay as and when we travel. can we not present he receipt printed online when we decide to travel?

When boss got too much cash for business not transpired, their head and ear can be switch off..

as he is so arrogrant. WHo can teach him a lesson?
WTF
