PRODUCTIVITY PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES SECTOR
Of the nine EPP projects, the two largest projects,
EPP4 MRT and EPP5 River of Life already make up
almost half of the EPP forecast. These two projects
will commence site works in 2012. Figure 6.22
shows the development from concept to reality of
the MRT project. It is projected that by the second
quarter of 2012, RM15 billion worth of Phase 1
of the MRT will commence from Kajang to Maluri
Station. Phase 2, projected to be awarded in the
third and fourth quarters of 2012 will involve
138
another RM15 billion. This major infrastructure
works among other EPP works is projected to
record an output growth of 7% and a productivity
growth of 5.6% for the construction sector.
The river of life project with a total budget
of RM17.9 billion has the major objective of
improving the water quality from “unsuitable
for body contact” to “recreational use”. Phase 1 of
the works worth RM3 billion have already started
