納吉不打自招！東海岸鐵路造價550億，果然與《砂拉越報告》的爆料吻合！這果然是另一項中飽私囊、為納吉自己脫困的基建計劃！

根據砂拉越報告踢爆的今天陰謀，這項東海岸鐵路計劃原本造價是300億令吉；但是納吉為了幫一馬公司紓困減輕債務，不惜與承建這項計劃的中國交通建設股份有限公司串通，將300億的造價抬高一倍至600億。這額外的300億將會被納吉拿去填補一馬公司那400多億的債務漏洞；而納吉朋黨將會從這筆超高交易中獲取豐厚的佣金！
雖然這項指控非常驚人，但納吉政府卻矢口不認；還恫言欲控告砂拉越報告誹謗。然而所謂的控告云云，卻始終只說不做；甚至被砂拉越報告總編輯公開挑戰了還是不敢起訴；這只能證明納吉政府真的心裡有鬼。
首相納吉昨日在2017年財政預算案中披露，東海岸鐵路（ECRL）計劃造價估計達550億令吉。這項數據與揭弊網站《砂拉越報告》今年7月的爆料相差僅50億令吉。這意味著納吉間接證明了《砂拉越報告》的指控屬實；這下納吉等於自己狠狠打了自己一個打耳光！
昨日，納吉在財案演講中說，全長600公里的東海岸鐵路計劃將銜接大小城鎮，如巴生港口、鵝嘜綜合交通總站、文冬、文德甲、關丹、甘馬挽、吉底、瓜拉登嘉樓、哥打峇魯與道北，估計耗資550億令吉。
填補一馬公司債務？
早在7月，《砂拉越報告》指控，納吉政府串謀中國交通建設股份有限公司，抬高半島東海岸鐵路造價一倍，從300億令吉暴漲至600億令吉，以籌錢填補一馬公司債務。
該網站引述中國交通建設內部文件，宣稱大馬政府準備把東海岸鐵路計劃交予中國交通建設公司。但是，工程價要比原先估計的有300億令吉的「差異」。
《砂拉越報告》聲稱，中國交通建設公司將策劃多項交易，分階段協助一馬公司還債，如通過中國第三方公司，幫忙一馬公司償還拖欠阿布達比主權基金IPIC債務。
《砂拉越報告》引述中國交通建設公司內部文件稱，作為交換，該公司將從中獲得暴利、土地、擴大在大馬政府的影響力等回報。
工程部長已否認指控
政府過去一再抨擊《砂拉越報告》，涉及推翻大馬政府的政治陰謀。
不過納吉政府卻始終無法推翻這些指控，或判定它所上載的文件真偽。有媒體聯繫首相辦公室與交通部長廖中萊尋求評論。不過，雙方皆沒回應。現在看來似乎真相已不言而喻。
中國交通建設公司與工程部長法迪拉之前曾經否認《砂拉越報告》的指控。但現在納吉的不打自招，卻形同默認了相關的指控。
PM says ECRL to cost RM55b, just shy of Sarawak Report’s claims
The estimated cost for the double-tracked East Coast Rail Line (ECRL) is RM55 billion, Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak announced in his Budget 2017 speech yesterday.
This is just RM5 billion shy of the figure which whistleblower site Sarawak Report had alleged the project cost would be inflated to.
"The 600-km rail will connect townships such as Port Klang, ITT Gombak, Bentong, Mentakab, Kuantan, Kemaman, Kerteh, Kuala Terengganu, Kota Bharu and ends in Tumpat, with an estimated cost of RM55 billion," Najib said in his speech in Parliament yesterday.
Back in July, Sarawak Report had accused Najib's administration of colluding with main project contractor China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) to hike up the cost of the ECRL from RM30 billion to RM60 billion to secretly pay off 1MDB’s debts.
Sarawak Report had cited a whistleblower who had allegedly provided copies of internal CCCC documents that detailed the supposed plan to inflate the project's cost by RM30 billion, on top of the initial estimate.
The extra RM30 billion would then be used to pay off 1MDB debts, the site said.
According to Sarawak Report, China's state-owned CCCC would purportedly help pay 1MDB’s debt in advance and progressively, through several engineered transactions.
This includes allegedly paying off Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund International Petroleum Investment Company's (IPIC) debts on 1MDB's behalf, using an unrelated Chinese third party as a front for the transaction.
In return, the website claimed that CCCC would be rewarded with high profits, land, and extra influence with the Malaysian government, quoting the Chinese company’s internal report.
It had contacted the Prime Minister's Office and Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai for comment, though there was no response.
Both CCCC and Works Minister Fadillah Yusof have denied the allegations
