Construction sector catalyses transformation agenda — Nancy Shukri

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s transformation agenda is built on a platform of sustainability and inclusiveness, and a key catalyst that binds all these initiatives together is the construction industry, says Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Nancy Shukri.

The 11th Malaysia Plan unveiled in May 2015 has reaffirmed the strong pipeline of construction jobs until 2020, she said.

“With over RM83 billion worth of infrastructure jobs to be awarded in 2016, it is going to be a busy year for the construction sector, and an equally busy period for adjudicators under the Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act (CIPAA) 2012,” she said in her opening address at the CIPAA 2016 conference here.

Notable projects include the new Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit Line 2 (KVMRT2), the Klang Valley Light Railway Transit 3 (KVLRT3), as well as the 1,090 km Pan-Borneo Highway and the RM4.2 billion Damansara–Shah Alam Highway (DASH), the Sungai Besi–Ulu Klang Elevated Expressway (SUKE) and the remaining West Coast Expressway (WCE), said Nancy.
