00:00 [President of Indonesia] "Good morning, Mr. President. For your information, the East Coast Railway Project, ECRL, is an infrastructure project for the people designed to provide rail transportation network to connect the East Coast and West Coast areas of the South China Sea. At the same time, it also takes into account the potential growth of the industrial, trade and tourism sectors in the areas involved. The ECRL project also provides rail transportation facilities for passengers and passengers. It is a project that is a great success for Indonesia's rail infrastructure."
00:25 [President of Indonesia] "The ECRL project also provides rail transportation facilities for passengers and passengers. Based on the additional agreement number 6, which was signed on 2 June 2022, the cost of building the ECRL project from Kota Baru to Kelantan, up to Kelang Port in Selangor, with a length of 665 km and 20 stations for passengers and passengers in four provinces, Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Selangor, remains at a total of RM50.27 billion.
00:54 The Malaysian Rail Link, as the owner of the ECRL project, will be subject to the Land Acquisition Act 1960 for land related to the ECRL project. Based on the Land Acquisition Act 1960, the state authorities can take any land that is needed for the purpose of development for the public.
01:17 The Land and Mining Administration and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Land Reform will be subject to the ECRL project to determine any uneconomically affected land. If the land is less than 0.25 hectares from the Section 8 of the Land Acquisition Act 1960, the land will be taken for the purpose of development.
01:43 The payment of the land will be given to the land owners, for land that no longer provides value to the benefits of land separation or the condition of the size and shape of the land that remains after the acquisition is carried out.
02:02 The Department of Assessments and Property Conservation will conduct a detailed study on the damage caused by injurious affection and surveillance and advise the JPKTG on the reasonable amount of land.
02:17 The JPKTG will submit the amount of land that is accepted on the day of the negotiation. The payment will be made within three months after the MRL receives the amount of land that is accepted.
02:31 The land owners can object to the amount of land that is accepted by opening a written appeal to the High Court within six weeks after the approval of the written appeal. The Malaysian Real Link is always committed to minimizing the impact on land that is involved in the land acquisition process for the ECRL project.
