PETALING JAYA: Affin Hwang Capital Research expects construction work at certain key projects, including the Klang Valley MRT Line 2 (MRT2) and light rail transit line 3 (LRT3), to resume as early as next week. The research house also says some building projects have been approved to resume work next week.

However, it will not be back to full force yet, as there will be restricted working hours at these sites as set by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti).
