Construction sector shifts gear


PETALING JAYA: The construction sector may be the only bright spot in the Malaysian economy as the pipeline of projects to be awarded in the second half of this year and up to next June is expected to hold steady on a stream of civil infrastructure jobs.

The sector’s focus would now shift to new tenders for the public transport and highway segments with the Mass Rapid Transit 2 (MRT 2) and Light Rail Transit 3 (LRT 3) projects entering either prequalification or award phases in the second of this year and the first-half of next year with the total value of jobs amounting to RM39bil.
