Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor announced that the ECK Group of Companies (ECK) is no longer involved in a joint venture with the state government to develop the Kulim International Airport (KXP) project in Mukim Sidam Kiri, Kuala Muda.

Sanusi said the joint venture with the company was terminated in May after it failed to comply with the terms of the agreement, including paying a land acquisition deposit of 125 percent of the estimated land acquisition of RM2.1 billion.
