Public infrastructure projects worth RM12 billion to RM14 billion are expected to be awarded in the second half of 2026, according to MBSB Research. The projects, driven by the growth of data centres, include the Penang LRT Mutiara Line s Civil Main Contract 2 package, Langat 2 Phase 2, Sungai Rasau Phase 2, and the Kerian Water EPCC project.
The Penang LRT project is targeted for November 2026, while Langat 2 Phase 2 has entered the procurement stage. The Kerian Water EPCC project, with an estimated value of RM4 billion to RM5 billion, has moved closer to implementation following a 40-year bulk water supply agreement. Beyond the immediate pipeline, administrative tailwinds could accelerate the rollout of approved infrastructure projects heading into 2027, including the Pan Borneo Highway and the Sarawak-Sabah Link Road.
