KUALA LUMPUR: Despite the fallout from Bandar Malaysia and the implications for China-driven contracts, CIMB Research remains optimistic about the job awards from the RM50bil East Coast Rail Line (ECRL) and the RM9bil Gemas-Johor Baru double-tracking project that are long overdue.

The research house said other China-backed jobs were intact and retained its “overweight” on the construction sector.
