KKR Submits Infrastructure Proposals For Budget 2027

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 15 (Bernama) -- The Works Ministry (KKR) has submitted its proposals for infrastructure development initiatives to the Finance Ministry (MoF) for consideration under Budget 2027, which will be tabled next month.

Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the ministry had reviewed its needs and identified areas requiring attention under the upcoming budget.

“KKR has a lot of wish list items. It’s alright, we are still in the process. We have discussed and looked in depth at what we (KKR) need. So, we have submitted our wish list, now we just have to wait,” he told reporters after officiating the Malaysia BIM Day 2026: Putrajaya Digital Built here today.

Also present was Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh.

Nanta said KKR received the largest development allocation among the 28 ministries, with RM9.6 billion, or almost 10 per cent of the RM81 billion total Development Expenditure (DE), allocated to the ministry in 2026.

Budget 2027 is expected to be tabled by Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Oct 9.
