Economic Planning Unit director-general Datuk Seri Sulaiman Mahbob confirmed that the Government had shelved the project but refused to elaborate further.

“The Government will not go ahead with the project because the financial model submitted involves a significant cost to be borne by the Government,” he said when contacted.
