Preliminary works, such as topography survey, are now ongoing at multiple spots along the Section C alignment, while soil investigation works are expected to commence soon, Darwis said.

“MRL is pleased that the overall progress of the ECRL project has increased to 14.49% currently, boosted primarily by ongoing construction works at 27 priority locations within its Dungun to Mentakab alignment (also known as Section B),” he added.

Meanwhile, MRL said the public information booths for Section C will operate on work days at APAD headquarters in Kuala Lumpur, and at the Ministry of Transport in Putrajaya during the three-month public inspection period that will end on April 14, 2020.

Five more public inspection booths will be operating at the respective Pejabat Daerah dan Tanah at Temerloh (Pahang), Jelebu and Seremban (Negeri Sembilan), Sepang and Kuala Langat (Selangor) from Jan 20 onwards, MRL added.

There will be other public inspection information booths opening elsewhere, which will operate on dates to be announced during the three-month period, it said. For more information, visit MRL's website at www.mrl.com.my.

With China Communications Construction Company Ltd (CCCC) as the main contractor, the 640-km ECRL that is scheduled for completion by December 2026, will traverse the East Coast states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang, as well as Negeri Sembilan, Putrajaya and Selangor on the West Coast.

Public inspection on ECRL's Mentakab-Port Klang section starts on Jan 14

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 11): The East Coast Rail Link's proposed Mentakab-Port Klang alignment, which will go through Negeri Sembilan and Putrajaya, will be on display for public inspection starting Tuesday (Jan 14).

The three-month inspection is for the public to provide feedback and suggestions on the new alignment that spans from Pahang to Selangor, said Malaysia Rail Link Sdn Bhd — a wholly-owned unit of the Minister of Finance Inc and the ECRL project and asset owner — in a statement yesterday.

The alignment, also known as Section C, comprises a mainline measuring 143.1km in length, a spurline of 41.5km, five passenger/freight stations, and a future station.

The new alignment was conceived to avoid the costly construction of the 17.8km long Genting Tunnel under the initial ECRL route, as well as to stay clear of the Klang Gates Quartz Ridge in Selangor, which is being established as a UNESCO World Heritage site, said MRL chief executive officer Datuk Seri Darwis Abdul Razak.

“The Section C alignment is crucial in the formation of a land bridge between Kuantan Port and Port Klang, where the 640-km ECRL network will end. This will pave the way for increase [in] freight transactions due to shorter travel time between the two ports,” he said, adding the Mentakab-Port Klang stretch via a more southerly route, took into greater consideration of rail connectivity, environmental safeguards, and social-economic impact.

“In line with the Public Inspection for Section C, MRL has initiated the Environmental Impact Assessment, Social Impact Assessment, and Heritage Impact Assessment reports for consideration by relevant authorities, in a bid to obtain the final approval of the Mentakab-Port Klang Railway Scheme from APAD,” he said.

In particular, the route will have designated passenger and freight stations at Temerloh in Pahang and Jenjarom in Selangor, with passenger-only stations at Klawang and Nilai in Negeri Sembilan, as well as Putrajaya Sentral in Putrajaya.

MRL said it recently received conditional approval for the ECRL Railway Scheme for Section C from Agensi Pengangkutan Awam Darat (APAD). Barring the final approval of the Railway Scheme for Section C, civil works for the Mentakab-Port Klang stretch including earthworks and foundation works, is targeted to commence from July 2020 onwards.

So, what about this round of outbreak? Will it be the same? Will see a sharp drop in stock prices in these few months?

Well, to answer that for me personally I will say “no one knows for sure”



We can not compare the previous SARS outbreak with this but since everyone is doing it. But in my opinion we should not be looking for stocks that will benefit from this and just sell our stocks that are the losers in this pandemic, as you can see in the picture below that after all that the market will still eventually recover, we just don’t know how long will it take.



Companies like glove companies such as HARTA, TOPGLOV, SUPERMX, KOSSAN, COMFORT has shot up in prices just because of this but on the contrary we need to also see is their price sustainable compared to their increased earnings in this quarterly report or not.

How does Coronavirus AKA Wuhan Virus impact Malaysia’s economy?

Basically, the outbreak of this virus all started at Wuhan on 31 Dec 2019 but what is this virus about? Coronavirus is actually a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).



It has been transmitted between animals and humans and have infected Thailand, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, Singapore, Vietnam, US and even in Malaysia (Johor). But the million-dollar question here from this outbreak what are the companies that can benefit from this and what will happen to all the other companies that will be affected from this?



Firstly, we need to see the how does it impact our Malaysia economy before we deep dive in to companies. Well, to know the future we have to take a look at past records as it will give us an idea on what are the impacts, as you guys know the previous biggest outbreak was SARS which hit Malaysia on November 2002, it had case-fatality ratio registered at 40% at the end of the outbreak.

Lower GDP growth

During the year 2003 the after effects have been lingering and caused the economy of Malaysia to expand in a slower pace which they only grew at 5.9% at 1Q03 and 4.6% at 2Q03 registering a 6 quarters low. This is primarily due to the services sector, specifically wholesale & trade retail and hotels & restaurant sub-sector.



Lower number of tourists coming to Malaysia

Overall number of tourists in Malaysia dropped by 4% in 2003 and in 2002 dropped by 5.1% while it remained on a downtrend until 2005 which saw a drop of 2.6%. This is due to the fact that a lot of flights are cancelled or rescheduled to a later date.



Lower retail sales

Retail sales dropped all the way to -2.2% in 2Q03 and 2.0% in 1Q03. Lower tourists mean lower retail sales, shopping malls got battered by lower tourists coming in the country and spending money.



Impact on the financial market on 2002/2003

Shanghai stock market dropped 12.01% during mid-Novermber 2002 and dropped again by 110.96 points mid-December 2002 while KLCI dropped by 42.19 points, a 4.62% drop.

Money can be a pretty sweet deal; it can provide you with an exciting lifestyle, glorious things, sometimes a little happiness. The catch? Sometimes there isn’t enough money to go around—and it can only buy you happiness to a certain extent.

And since there are no trees growing free cash, no dollar bills raining from the sky into our purses and wallets, most of us live in a world of budgets. But, the good thing is, when you take control of your money, you take control of your life, too.

Industries told to be ready for IR4.0


THE Industry 4.0 is reshaping the manufacturing and production industries.



Deputy Chief Minister I Datuk Ahmad Zakiyuddin Abdul Rahman said it was crucial for these industries to embrace and adopt the new digital industrial technology.



“It is time to reassess and realign your business strategy. Adapt to the current changes of doing business.



“The Industry 4.0 has the potential to transform the industries in many ways.



“Businesses can strive to improve productivity, efficiency, costs, quality and management in the face of IR4.0,” he said in his speech before opening ‘IR 4.0: Connected Factory’ showcase at ECA Advanced Solutions Sdn Bhd in Bukit Minyak today.



Ahmad Zakiyuddin said that the manufacturing industry was an important economic sector which had contributed about 22% of the nation’s gross domestic products (GDP) in the last five years.

“The growing manufacturing industry attracts investments, creates business opportunities and stimulates job creation.



“The manufacturing sector is expected to remain resilient next year,” he added.



Also present were Bukit Tambun assemblyman Goh Choon Aik, Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) Penang director Yusni Md Yusop, Ministry of International Trade & Industry (MITI) regional office (Penang branch) director Clement Wong Chen Siong and ECA Advanced Solutions Sdn Bhd director Roger Ooi.

Local construction sector to be rejuvenated

KUALA LUMPUR: The local construction contracts and job flows are expected to gradually pick up this year with the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) subcontracting packages being the focus, analysts said.

Maybank Investment Bank Bhd analyst Adrian Wong said the proposed realignment of the Kota Bharu-Dungun stretch (Package A; 210.4km) of the ECRL was undergoing a three-month public inspection process till February 24 this year.

“We believe tenders for the subcontracting civil work packages could start by the second-quarter (Q2) of 2020 with awards in the second-half of 2020.

“We also expect awards of the remaining packages from the on-going projects in East Malaysia such as the Pan Borneo Sabah Highway, Sarawak Coastal and Second Link Road,” he said in a report today.

Although the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) and Klang Valley Mass Rapid Transit 3 (KVMRT 3) remain wildcards at this juncture, he said announcement of the projects’ revival this year would excite the market.

“We are upbeat on the construction sector’s outlook in 2020 with a ‘positive’ stance on Gamuda Bhd with our preferred ‘buy’ pick.”

Wong estimated local contractors to secure up to RM10 billion of jobs from the ECRL based on the rule of thumb that 40 per cent of total civil works would be awarded to local contractors.

He said the Penang State Government had, in October last year, received a Federal Government Guarantee to raise bonds to fund the Bayan Lepas Light Rail Transit for RM8 billion.

“This will expedite the start of the Penang Transport Master Plan (PTMP) project. Assuming the project delivery partner (PDP) agreement is finalised within first-quarter of 2020, we could see the first awards by end 2020.”

He said higher gross development expenditure allocation of RM56 billion for 2020, announced in 2020 Budget also signalled the government’s commitment to develop public infrastructure and rural development especially in the deeper parts of Sabah and Sarawak.

“Spending on public infrastructure and amenities will continue to be in focus as the government continues to reduce the development gap between the urban and rural areas.

“Allocation for the construction and upgrading of hospitals, schools and affordable housing units with an estimated spend of at least RM10.2 billion has been set aside under 2020 Budget.”

Meanwhile, Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) expects contract awards and news flow to accelerate going forward due to recovery in development expenditure as the government rolls out major infrastructure projects.

“Stronger job flows from Sarawak are anticipated with a record high allocation of about RM10 billion for development expenditure,” HLIB said.

The firm maintained a “neutral” call on the construction sector, adding that mega projects news flow and healthy orderbook levels should protect on the downside.

“The first-half of 2020 should be dominated by tender news flow regarding ECRL and Pan Borneo Sabah, which will see packages 28, 29 & 30 (RM980 million) will be tendered out in March 2020 with remaining 20 packages falling under the 12th Malaysia Plan (2021-2025).”

Based on reports, the government is expected to come to a decision on HSR and MRT3 by mid-2020.

HLIB said PTMP (RM24 billion) may feature in the secnd half of the year starting with Bayan Lepas LRT to be rolled out if the bond funding was firmly in place.

Smaller projects including Rapid Transit System (RM3.2 billion) and Iskandar Bus Rapid Transit (RM2 billion) may also come into the foray in the second half of this year.

9,429 construction site notices issued

KUCHING: The development of the construction industry has raised occupational safety and health issues while creating many jobs.

Occupational safety and health advocate Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said based on the number of fatalities and injuries arising from construction accidents in the country, these issues could no longer be ignored.

He said the Department of Occupational Safety and Health issued 9,429 notices last year from 10,917 construction sites inspected.

The notices included 740 compounds and 113 cases filed for safety and health offences.

Lee urged the department to intensify preventive enforcement activities in the high-risk sector by applying latest enforcement measures and updated risk-control technology.

“The statistics showed that there were 169 deaths and 3,911 accidents in the construction sector in 2018, with the rate of fatality per 100,000 workers in the construction industry at 13.44 in 2018, compared with 14.57 in 2017.

“The construction industry recorded the highest number of fatalities in 2018, compared with other sectors.” he said during the Third Safety and Quality Forum, themed ‘Safety and Quality towards Project Delivery Excellence’, organised by the Sarawak Public Works Department here on Tuesday.

“This should serve as a reminder to us that we should never be complacent when it comes to occupational safety and health.”

He said safety and health budgets should be included as criteria for hiring contractors to promote health and safety aspects in the industry.

Lee said the Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994 needed to be amended and must include an increase in the penalty for non-compliance, so that workers are safer at construction sites.

Budget 2020: Construction industry happy, expects growth

PETALING JAYA: The construction industry is expected to grow with the announcement of a number of infrastructure projects under Budget 2020, says the Master Builders Association Malaysia.

Its president Foo Chek Lee said the industry was “delighted” with the mega-infrastructure projects in the country, such as the Pan-Borneo Highway, Bandar Malaysia, and the Rapid Transit System from Johor Baru to Singapore.

“This is great support for the sustainability of the construction economy as the growth is expected to be at 3.7% in 2020.

“The industry is definitely looking forward to all the projects to kick off soon as the industry is hungry for projects, ” he said.


Infrastructure projects such as the new cable car system in Penang Hill and housing for the new generation of Felda settlers would also give a boost to the industry.

“There is also the maintenance and upgrading of schools, new hospitals, upgrades to the Ipoh airport, development works in rural areas and new villages.

“We hope all these projects will benefit local contractors.

"This will give a boost of confidence to the Malaysian construction industry as it will provide more job opportunities to the rakyat, ” he said.

Foo, however, said this growth must come with measures to address the lack of workers in the construction industry.

“While we support the improvement of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and Industrial Revolution 4.0, the government needs to solve the current shortage of workers whilst waiting for more TVET-trained skilled workers to enter the workforce, ” he said.

Mega project boost for budget

PETALING JAYA: Several mega-infrastructure projects are expected to kick off following the Budget 2020 announcement, with one of them having its development agreement signed just hours before the tabling of the budget on Friday.

Sources said the government would announce the commencement of the tunnel project in Penang and the revived Bandar Malaysia project, as well as new highway projects to be constructed in Selangor.

It is learnt that on Friday morning, ahead of the budget announcement, the development agreement for the long-delayed controversial tunnel project in Penang will finally be inked between the Penang state government and the main contractor, Consortium Zenith Construction Sdn Bhd.

The RM6.34bil development is expected to commence immediately after the signing of the agreement, which is for the first phase also known as Package 2 of the project. The first phase of the project is the 5.7-km Ayer Itam-Lebuhraya Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu bypass, which has a construction period of 36 months.

The state government-owned project, which has come under heavy criticism over its cost and delays in completing the RM305mil feasibility study, will consist of three toll-free roads and a tolled tunnel. Another mega-project expected to be announced by Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng for the year ahead is the commencement of the revived RM140bil Bandar Malaysia project.

The signing ceremony for this project, sources said, would take place within a week from the budget announcement, with the government expected to reveal further details on the project.

In April this year, the government had announced the revival of the Bandar Malaysia project, which spans 196ha at the site of the former airport in Sungai Besi.

The project, first announced by former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak back in 2011, was owned by the controversial 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) investment fund at the time.

The integrated property development was also supposed to be a terminal for the KL- Singapore high-speed rail – yet another mega-project scrapped by the Pakatan Harapan government when they came into power last year.

In December 2015, the Finance Ministry entered into an agreement to sell a 60% stake in Bandar Malaysia for RM7.4bil to a 60:40 consortium comprising Iskandar Waterfront Holdings Bhd and China Railway Engineering Corp Sdn Bhd. The companies were to be the project’s master developer.

In May 2017, however, the government surprised the market by calling off the deal, citing the failure of the purchasing parties to fulfil payment obligations

Two years later, the revived project will now include 10,000 affordable housing units, a people’s park, bumiputra participation throughout the project and the priority for the use of local content and materials.

Meanwhile, on the expected new highways to be announced in Selangor, a source said one of the highways is expected to stretch across Petaling Jaya.

Previously, plans for the Kinrara-Damansara Expressway (Kidex) had been announced, but it was met with objection from residents living near the planned highway, and subsequently cancelled.

Later, it was speculated that the Petaling Jaya Dispersal Link (PJD Link) highway project would replace the cancelled Kidex project.

Another ongoing development that is likely to see new work packages awarded in the year ahead is the toll-free Central Spine Road (CSR) project.

The 350-km project, estimated to cost RM350mil, links Kuala Krai in Kelantan to Simpang Pelangai in Pahang.

Sources expect the government, during the upcoming budget announcement, to announce the progress of the project as well as the upcoming packages.

Early last month, the Works Ministry stated that the government would prioritise packages three, four and five of the project, which run from Gua Musang in Kelantan to Kuala Lipis in Pahang; Kuala Lipis to Raub in Pahang; and from Raub to Bentong, Pahang, respectively, due to reasons including traffic congestion as well as high incidents of accidents in parts of these routes.

Package five, which is ongoing, commenced under the 10th Malaysia Plan with an approved cost of RM631.98mil and is set to be completed next year.

In August this year, it was reported that the Pahang state would be receiving about RM800mil in allocations for package six of the CSR project, involving the stretch from Bentong town to Simpang Pelangai.

Apart from the infrastructure projects, the government is also expected to announce details on the implementation of the impending digital tax that is expected to be implemented on Jan 1,2020.

During the tabling of Budget 2019, Lim announced that a 6% digital tax would be imposed on foreign service providers, namely, streaming services Netflix and Spotify, and digital game distributor Steam.

The move is meant to create an equal playing field between local and foreign digital service providers.

PETALING JAYA: On Monday, St Louis Superman, a documentary produced by Malaysians Teng Poh Si and Cheyenne Tan, picked up an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Short Subject.

St Louis Superman, directed by Smriti Mundhra and Sami Khan, chronicles the journey of Bruce Franks Jr, an activist and rapper who ran for the Missouri House of Representatives in 2016 and won.

He was inspired to enter politics after the shooting of an unarmed African-American teenager, Michael Brown Jr, by a white police officer in 2014 in Ferguson, Missouri, near where Franks Jr lived.

St Louis Superman is up against nominees such as In The Absence, Learning To Skateboard In A Warzone (If You’re A Girl), Life Overtakes Me and Walk Run Cha-Cha.

The Academy Awards takes place in Los Angeles on Feb 9.

Penang-born Teng said her Oscar journey would not be possible without the support of Malaysia’s annual documentary film festival FreedomFilmFest (FFF) and its organiser Pusat Komas, a human rights organisation.
