Contractors in for stronger growth momentum

Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan.

PETALING JAYA: The local construction sector will be injected with more projects in the second half of this year (2H24) as up to RM180bil worth of jobs from the government and private sector are being dished out.

Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan said a total allocation of RM180bil in the sector has been up for grabs since the start of this year but the award of such contracts has been rather slow, with momentum expected to pick up in 2H24.
