PJD Link (M) Sdn Bhd, a private construction company controlled by businessman Tan Sri Hari Narayanan Govindasamy and his family, plans to revive a multi-billion ringgit highway project across Petaling Jaya, Selangor, that was scrapped six years ago by former Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Azmin Ali due to technical reasons.
And the company hopes to get it right this time.
PJD Link (M) executive director Amrish Hari Narayanan, who is the son of Hari Narayanan, says since September last year, the company has been soliciting public feedback and engaging with members of parliament and state assemblymen (Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri in Malay, or ADUN) representing various areas in PJ on its plan to build the Petaling Jaya Dispersal Link (PJD Link), which follows a similar route as the controversial RM2.4 billion Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex) project.
‘Cap Covid test price’ 25 Jan 2021 / 07:59 H.
PETALING JAYA: Health stakeholders are calling for a price cap on Covid-19 testing to avoid profiteering. This comes following a rise in the number of Covid cases in the country, with figures expected to soar to 8,000 daily by March.
Health think-tank group Galen Centre for Health and Social Policy chief executive Azrul Mohd Khalib said such a move is necessary considering the increase in the number of Malaysians getting tested daily.
“The cost price is reportedly in the range of RM40 to RM90, depending on the volume of tests conducted. The more people who get tested, the lower the cost can be,” he told theSun yesterday.
