Personal view on LRT project. I strongly believe government will not scrap off ECRL, LRT and even HSR (probably just deferring the project). I would like to think Singapore is trying to help the Malaysia government to recuperate by allowing some time for them to recuperate their finances. Because it would be a bigger loss to cut off existing work unless it is deemed to be a futile development that potential loss is greater over revenues. Present government has no intention to liquidate on just any companies unless they can find jobs for displaced employees. Instead, they will just want greater transparency in near future over government related projects.
New government will minimum the earning on projects for what companies got country job.Not a good news for future projects will new government giving for market.
HSR very hard to judge as the project actually didnt start yet. But ECRL has a high chance to resume as the project already started. As long as PH can renegotiate the cost structure, the project is likely to go on, just like what happened at LRT3.
However, unlike LRT3. PH have to deal with foreign government for both HSR and ECRL projects. The negotiation process is going to be very tough and could take a long time.
A good news that there is no cancellation for LRT3 and the government is willing to increase the price of the project. That means the Government has reviewed the project. Very positive for GKent. Speculation that GKent will not be given any future projects is absurd and not logical as long as GKent is able to put in competitive tender no reasons why GKent could not win future projects. This counter is oversold. Do you own calculation and homework.
Refering to Ray1980, while it is true public listing company will get lesser with present government in terms of earnings, it will also gear them to focus on contracts from other sources. And to say you cannot earn from government is an understatement. It was more like previous times the company's in relation to government project is absurdly high profit margin with low quality material and work; remember the collapsed stadium incident? I don't know whether to laugh or cry. A bit of both..
He said this will include all project costs, including but not limited to Work Package Contracts (WPC), land acquisition, project management, consultancy fees, operational and overhead costs, as well as interest during construction.
Project cost will be cut 47% and how much of profit will affected to both Gkent & MRCB ? LGE statement clearly stated there will be no more Variation Order in future. It seems like government is telling the JV : We will only pay this much, take it or leave it
In addition, the construction of the LRT3 project will be restructured from a PDP model to a “fixed price contract” with MRCB-GK JV. This will ensure that the price will be fixed and will not be subject to cost overruns. The details of this contract will be disclosed at a later stage.
Read carefully, RM16bil is the final project cost. Any cost overruns shall be borne by Prasarana, George Kent and MRCB.
down the road everybody will lupa the pledge to capped the budget at certain amount. It is not easy to capped budget for any construction due to valid and reasonable unforseen circumstances. Later on, next 2 - 3 years if needs additional cost, ppl olready forgot la..no more talk about LRT3, HSR, ECRL, etc..other matters sure crop up.
LRT3 price is increased to 10 16 Billion as what I read in the financial news due to escalating costs such as steel and labour. No cancellation of LRT3. Very Good for GKent. You judge for yourself. Do not understand why this counter price is so undervalued. GKent's chances are as good as others in winning future projects if they submit competitive bids. Cheers
LRT3 is viable and feasible otherwise the government will not increased the price tag to RM16 Billion. They have studied the project and the costs overrun apparently was not attributed to GKent. This latest news is very positive for GKent. No reason why GKent cannot win more projects under Pakatan if they submit competitive bids. Do not listen to rumours posted by people with vested interest. Again do your own homeworks.
