THE government has allocated RM9 billion to finance infrastructure projects.
More than half of the money, or RM4.7 billion, will go to roads and bridges construction and RM2.6 billion to upgrade water supply and sewerage services.
Another RM899 million is for railway facilities construction, RM820 million for seaports and RM276 million to upgrade airports.
Master Builders Association of Malaysia hopes the government will speed up the project implementation.
"This year, the construction sector is expected to grow 3.5 per cent," said its president Ng Kee Leen.
With the setting up of the National Green Technology Centre, the association looks forward to new guidelines and specifications in the design of sustainable homes, office blocks and structures.
Green buildings can be built via modular system, using renewable building materials, incorporating lighting and air-conditioning systems that are energy efficient and fitted with dual flush toilets.
