The Ministry of Works (KKR) has announced that about 60 per cent of federal roads in Malaysia require repairs and upgrades. A budget of RM3 billion has been allocated to carry out construction works for these. Additionally, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) has approved an additional allocation of RM130 million for the periodic maintenance of pavements on federal roads across Malaysia.
About 180 work contracts have been offered to contractors in peninsular Malaysia while 17 work contracts have been awarded in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan.
Most of the repair and upgradation is expected to be completed by the end of November 2022.
