“東鐵”等大案,遭馬國喊卡


“東鐵”遭馬國喊卡馬哈蒂爾排訪華

馬國新政府上任後雷厲風行減國債,上次叫停新隆高鐵,這次攔截東海岸鐵路,承包工程的中國首當其衝。另有消息人士透露,馬哈蒂爾可能在近期訪華。



(德國之聲中文網) 馬來西亞政府宣布“東海岸鐵路計劃”停工,若要復工,必須大幅降價。

馬來西亞財政部長林冠英3日發表聲明,東海岸鐵路計劃(ECRL)造價由原先的136億美元上升至200億美元,比政府原先估計的高出50%,使政府難以承擔。除非大幅降價,否則無法復工。

東海岸鐵路計劃連接馬來西亞東西岸,全長688公里,已於2017年8月開工。這是馬來西亞最大的在建項目,也是中國"一帶一路"倡議下的重要工程。

隔日,該工程案的承包商中國交通建設股份有限公司(CCCC)確認此事,表示他們已經接獲停工通知。他們對此表達遺憾,並呼籲馬來西亞政府遵守前朝所簽訂的合約。

前首相納吉佈在2016年簽訂合同,但他日前因貪污罪名遭到起訴,並且限制出境。

馬來西亞已經支付約100億令吉預付款,以及96.7億令吉工程進度款。林冠英表示,若不得已進入“最壞的情況”,亦即工程取消,預付款可以收回。

他補充,將與相關單位進行協商。

馬來西亞宣布已經喊停的工程共三項。除了東鐵,還有兩項輸油管工程,背後都有中國支持。東鐵由中國交通建設有限公司負責,輸油管工程由中國石油與天然氣公司得標。

馬國財政部長林冠英表示,此決定主要是為了消減高達2.5千億美元的國債。“我們將此決定通知相關單位,純粹是本於合同中的條款,跟他們從哪個國家來無關。”




一帶一路重點項目

5月28日,馬來西亞首相馬哈蒂爾宣布喊停連接新加坡與馬來西亞的“新隆高鐵”。該高鐵原計劃2026年建成,預計造價170億美元。

馬國受到前首相貪污影響,國家債務節節升高來到2500億美元。馬哈蒂爾接掌新政府後,著手削減債務。

馬哈蒂爾曾估計,通過放棄此類大型項目,馬來西亞的國家債務將減少五分之一。
