Finally, they have make final decision to reject the RM1.6 billion low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) project in Labu in Negri Sembilan proposed by Sime Darby and Air Asia.
As usual, this plan received objections from many parties and I think the most influenced was from former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and also Sime darby Watch’s blog.
The reason: the government said that MAHB will now build the new LCCT within the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, or KLIA which MAHB manages, but in “close consultation” with Air Asia. “The company’s input in the building of the new terminal will have to be taken into consideration,” said the New Straits Times, citing a source familiar with the proceedings.
