PRESIDENT MESSAGE
FEBRUARY 2026 PRESIDENT MESSAGE
As we usher in the Year of the Horse, I extend my warmest greetings to the MBAM family. In this auspicious year, the Horse symbolizes the strength, resilience, and speed we must embody as we gallop forward to meet our national aspirations. This year also marks the commencement of the 13th Malaysia Plan, a pivotal chapter for our nation’s development. The construction industry continues to stand as the backbone of Malaysia’s economic and social progress.
MBAM strongly encourages all members to embrace technological advancements to mitigate labour shortages and enhance productivity. In an environment of rising costs, innovation remains our strongest defence. Furthermore, with the introduction of the Carbon Tax in 2026, sustainability is a core business requirement. Contractors who lead in ESG practices today will undoubtedly be the preferred partners for the prestigious global tenders of tomorrow.
4th February 2025 also marks a meaningful milestone for the Association with the launch of the MBAM Anthem “We Build A Dream” during MBAM Chinese New Year Celebration 2026. The video song, about 3 minutes and 33 secs in duration, was launched on the auspicious day of ‘Li Chun’ a Chinese festival to celebrate the arrival of spring: signalling renewal, balance and fresh starts, as it ushers in the Year of the Fire Horse
