PRESIDENT MESSAGE
As we step into the month of May, MBAM is still working closely with the Government and relevant parties to ensure the construction industry will be able to resolve some of the issues faced and revive its economy. Members are advised to continue adhering to all the SOPs as we are still fighting against COVID-19.
Last month, MBAM was invited to the YAB Prime Minister’s Meeting with Industry organised by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) on 15 April 2021. During the meeting, I raised the matter on MBAM’s objection to the expansion of Human Resources Development Fund (PSMB) Act 2001 that covers the construction industry and the need to introduce Variation of Price (VOP) Clause in controlling the prices of building materials. Following the session, MBAM has sent in a memorandum dated 22 April 2021 on the two issues to the Prime Minister. In the same memorandum, MBAM also expressed the need for amendments to improve the Temporary Measures for Reducing the Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Act 2020. Overall, it was a meeting that enabled industry players to engage with the Government in the hope that issues raised can be quickly resolved for the sustained growth of the nation.
