SEREMBAN: Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng hints that the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) will include Negri Sembilan, if negotiations with the Chinese government is successful, and the project continues. 

The project could go on if negotiations between Council of Eminent Persons chairman Tun Daim Zainuddin and the Chinese government went well and the government could cut the cost down to RM36bil, said Lim. 

"If this project cost can be cut down to RM36bil, then it is good news not only for the country, but also for Negri Sembilan. 

"And I say Negri Sembilan because the route will change and this is good for the state," said Lim at a ceramah in Kuala Sawah near here on Friday night (April 5).

He, however, refused to divulge further about his veiled announcement. 

"I ask the press to not ask me about this because I can't say much about it. 

"If the negotiations are successful, the route will change and this will be great news for Negri Sembilan.
