Construction sector needs govt boost


Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, in announcing the second stimulus package last month, has said that the government will continue the implementation of all projects allocated in Budget 2020. These include the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), the Mass Rapid Transit Line 2 and the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan.

MALAYSIA’S RM66bil construction sector could not afford further delays to the long-promised mega infrastructure projects.

At a time when there is a clear lack in private projects amid the feeble market sentiment, the need for the government to ramp up its investments in public-funded projects has become more pressing.
