PADANG RENGAS: The abandoned RM70mil Maktab Rendah Sains Mara project in Liman Kati near here will be revived under the 10th Malaysia Plan (10MP).
Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir said Mara had made the revival its main project under the 10MP.
He added that the contractor had asked for RM103mil to revive the project.
Speaking to reporters after a working visit to the Kuala Kangsar district near here yesterday, Dr Zambry said the original plan was to accommodate 700 students.
“Now with the revival, the project will be enlarged to accommodate 1,000 students,” he said, adding that the project started in 2007 but was abandoned in August 2008.
“Unlike other projects, the contractor for this project did not abscond with the money.
“He gave up due to the spiralling cost of building materials during the economic crisis last year,” he said.
