why not the Government just build the highway by itself?

A 60 Year Toll Concession??

OUTSYED THE BOX

 

The project costs RM7.0 Billion - why not the Government just build the highway by itself? The Government is already committing about RM4.0 Billion worth of money. The Government can easily borrow the balance RM3.0 billion and complete the project, with no toll burden on the public. Even Khazanah Nasional can borrow RM3.0 billion over one weekend.
