Laying the tracks of recovery for construction

Mudajaya Group Bhd managing director and chief executive officer James Wong told StarBiz that the sector would still experience challenges with tightened standard operating procedures emanating from the spread of the virus among foreign workers, which would impact productivity and preventive cost.

PETALING JAYA: The year 2020 has been a total washout year for the construction industry and players in the sector were rather relieved to have sailed through the headwinds into 2021.

A better year is definitely expected with the resumption and roll outs of various public and private sector projects but how significantly positive it would be, depended on the policies and projects that will be announced by the government.
