Firdausi Suffian of Sabah UiTM wonders “who will finance this” while transport expert Wan Agyl Wan Hassan asks if infrastructure should be for profit or to enable economic growth in the region.

Infrastructure expert Wan Agyl Wan Hassan said that the proposed Trans-Borneo Railway project would improve the mobility of resources and people.
