PETALING JAYA: Local contractors want the government to ensure “full complete packages” of work under the revived RM44bil East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project

Master Builders Association Malaysia’s (MBAM) president Foo Chek Lee said while the increase in local participation in the project was welcomed, local contractors must not end up being given sub-labour work. The increase in local participation will help reduce contractors’ pain and further elevate their gain for 2019.
