PETALING JAYA: Over the past few years, the situation for construction companies has always been the case of being all dressed up for the occasion.
While Covid-19 has certainly thrown them into the pool of casualties, only second to that of the tourism-related sector, it was not just the pandemic that dropped the anchor on the construction industry.
It was the lack of clarity that has mostly stemmed from the patchy rollout of jobs from the government since 2018.
The pandemic put a halt in the repeated about-turns on the status of mega infrastructure projects as Putrajaya focused its finances on economic stimulus packages to assist the people and businesses.
