Dunce Accumulating Party – Part 2
SeaDemon Says
Recently I wrote how the DAP is filled with morons and gave two examples.
Today,I shall give you another.
WakeUp Malaya calls Yeo Bee Yin the East Coast economic saboteur
DAP’s Yeo Bee Yin said no to the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) back in March 2017. As a matter of fact, this one other dunce from the dungu party asked Selangor NOT to help out with the ECRL project when, as she said, it could be completed at almost half the price.
Those who voted her in are equal idiots or worse for letting themselves be duped by this slightly more intelligent moron. This is because she compared the cost of constructing the ECRL to the project in Tanzania where the new line will be built next to the existing line, no greenfields, and that there are no tunnels to be constructed. Being the typical drama queens, her Pakatan friends dubbed the ECRL the most expensive railway project in the world.
Brain Not Included
The first phase of the ECRL will run 600 kilometers of tracks, electrified, with 50 kilometers of tunneling. The second phase will link the ECRL from the Gombak Intergrated Transport Terminal to Port Klang, a further 88 kilometers. The cost is estimated to be at RM55 billion (USD12.6 billion). This translates into about RM80 million (USD18.4 million) per kilometer.
As a comparison, the Madrid-Volladoid line in Spain costs USD5.48 billion (RM24 billion) for a 177-kilometer distance which comes up to about USD30 million (RM130.4 million) per kilometre.
The Bremmer rail project in Switzerland cost USD6.56 billion (RM28.52 billion) for a 55 kilometer-line or RM518.55 million per km.
I don’t know how Yeo Bee Yin and friends could claim that the ECRL is the most expensive rail project. Then again, they also fielded a calon hantu (phantom candidate) who is an Australian citizen as a candidate in last year’s Sarawak state elections.
On the benefits of the ECRL, I have written a post on that.
Suddenly, out of the blue, the ECRL is a meaningful project for the people of Selangor, said Yeo Bee Yin. She said this when questioning why, if the ECRL is to be the land bridge connecting Kuantan port and Port Klang, is the ECRL terminating at the Gombak Intergrated Transport Terminal?
