THE Master Builders Association Malaysia (MBAM) would like to thank the government for announcing the Pemerkasa Plus aid package on Monday (May 31) to assist the people and businesses in facing the difficult times brought by the Covid-19 pandemic and Phase 1 total lockdown which started Tuesday (June 1).
Some of the aspects of the Pemerkasa Plus aid package that MBAM wishes to highlight are the extension of the Temporary Measures for Reducing the Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) or Act 829 to Dec 31,2021, and the implementation of small projects with an allocation of more than RM2bil to be spent utilising class G1 to G4 contractors for the repair of infrastructure and public facilities.
