COLOMBO, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka has suspended a $1.5 billion Japanese-funded light rail project for the capital Colombo, citing financial problems, a government official said on Thursday.

The project, meant to ease congestion in the city, was being financed through a $1.4 billion soft loan from the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
"It is on temporary hold because of foreign exchange difficulties we are facing now. Some other projects have also been temporarily halted," Monti Ranatunga, secretary to the Secretary to the ministry of transport, told Reuters.
Earlier, local media reported that President Gotabaya Rajapaksa had written a letter asking the transport ministry to cancel the light rail project because of high costs.
Rajapaksa's office confirmed the despatch of a letter, but declined to give further details.
Sri Lanka, which lies along key shipping routes in the Indian Ocean, has become a hotspot for influence between India and Japan on the one side and China on the other.
China has built ports, highways and power stations on the island as part of its Belt and Road Initiative, prompting a pushback from India which has long seen the island as part of its sphere of influence.
In recent years Japan has also sought to step up investment in infrastructure there in partnership with India. (Reporting by Waruna Karunatilake; Writing by Sanjeev Miglani; Editing by Hugh Lawson)

Expecting Japan to give advice on road design is absurd! The roads here are terrible. Try getting in or out of any major Japanese city at rush hour. Incidentally, most Japanese think that "rush" means "congested," because that's what they see in the early morning and late afternoon.

Why is my tax money being used to fund projects in other countries?
There are plenty of projects to waste money on in Japan. Only the other day I saw parts of the countryside that have yet to have any concrete laid on them.

Japan and China are doing way more harm than good with their developing-world infra projects.
The projects should be awarded through open tender and the winning bidders should be selected based on cost and competence, not political clout. (That would also give taxpayers in Japan a break ). The current system breeds corruption and anticompetitive practices, which so many of these nations are vulnerable to.
Private-sector multi-national consortiums are the way to go.

Shame on Japanese government for throwing taxpayers money on these countries. There are a significant amount of problems regarding young children’s child care, health and malnutrition among kids. Yet the government goes to these ungrateful countries and loaning them at 0.1% with a decade long grace period. It's a shame. If the government arranges a program for kids' child care and health, at least after 18 years they will start paying taxes. The slowing birth rate would be decline. It's a shame.
Ps : I'm a Sri lankan. Tax payer in Japan.

කොටුව සහ මාලඹේ අතර ඉදිකිරීමට යෝජිතව තිබූ සැහැල්ලු දුම්රිය ව්‍යාපෘතිය අත්හිටුවීම හේතුවෙන් ජපානයේ ජයිකා ආයතනය ශ්‍රී ලංකා රජය විසින් රුපියල් බිලියන 5 ක වන්දියක් ගෙවීමට සිදුවී ඇත.

අදාළ ව්‍යාපෘතිය සඳහා වසර 35කින් ගෙවී යන ලෙස ණය මුදලක් ලබා ගැනීමට නියමිතව තිබූ අතර මේ වන විටත් ඉන් බිලියන 3ක පමණ මුදලක් වියදම් කර ඇතැයි නාගරික සංවර්ධන අමාත්‍යාංශයේ ප්‍රකාශකයෙක් සඳහන් කළේය.

එතරම් විශාල මුදලක් වැය කිරීමට සිදු වීම හේතුවෙන් එය අත්හිටුවීමට රජය තීරණය කළ බවද ඔහු සඳහන් කළේ ය.
