The fate of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) and Strategic Energy Resources (SSER) pipeline projects have not been finalised yet. Prime Minister, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed said his visits to China recently was to set the principle on how to move forward regarding the two mega projects. In an interview with Malaysiakini, the premier explained the projects' details were not discussed during his meetings with the Chinese President, Xi Jinping and premier, Li Keqiang. He also said Malaysia's preference was for the cancellation of the ECRL and SSER pipeline projects but it would much depend on future negotiatons Tun Dr Mahathir believed his biggest achievement from his five-day trip to China was to convince Beijing that Malaysia was not being hostile to China but needed to put those projects on ice due to genuine financial concerns. The premier also rebutted critics who claim that Beijing was unhappy at him. Tun Dr Mahathir added he was well received by the Chinese leaders and they had very good discussions at the official level.
