KUALA LUMPUR: The chairman of the Council of Eminent Persons (CEP) Tun Daim Zainuddin wants to complete the task mandated to him and the council before the first 100 days of the new government and leave. “I hope I can complete this task within 100 days so that I can go off,” Daim told reporters last week at Menara Ilham. To complete the task within the timeframe, the council is working through the fasting month meeting heads of government-linked companies (GLCs) so that Pakatan Harapan’s election promises can be fulfilled. The 80-year-old Daim said other matters that would be discussed this week include the fuel subsidy, tax systems and toll roads. Among other findings from the meetings, it was found that the total cost of RM55bil for the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project was inaccurate.
