Mega projects can put construction back on track


StarBiz reported on Monday that among infrastructure projects in the pipeline, the revival of MRT3 and HSR appear imminent.

PETALING JAYA: The revival of infrastructure projects such as the Mass Rapid Transit Line 3 (MRT3) and the KL-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR), should they happen soon, could provide a ray of light amid the gloomy outlook for the construction sector.
