Penang LRT a sector catalyst

PETALING JAYA: It is the belief among certain circles in the local construction industry that it still needs a number of mega-projects – aside from the Mass Rapid Transit 3 – to give it a more meaningful post-lockdown era jumpstart.

As such, industry observers have welcomed the news that the federal government has decided to allocate funds to expedite Penang’s Bayan Lepas light rail transit (LRT) project, an assignment that has long been put on the back burner due to funding issues.
