Sepang low cost carrier terminal  (LCCT)	2,000	So far, two workpackages relating to earthworks totaling RM654m have been awarded to WCT (RM363m) and a Gadang JV (RM291m). The remaining packages are the: (i) main terminal and satellite building works worth RM1b (tender have closed), and (ii) runway, worth RM300m-RM400m. The entire LCCT project is scheduled for completion by 3Q2011.   Potential beneficiaries for the remaining work packages are UEM, Bina Puri, IJM, WCT and Sunway.
Klang Valley LRT extension (Kelana Jaya-Putra Heights-Sri Petaling, 17km)		Proposed line alignment was opened for public comments until 15 Dec 09.  Edge Weekly (19 Apr 10) reported that the main contractors pre-qualified (pre-Q) for the first package (Kelana Jaya line) would be announced soon. An award is expected in the next two months, and works would start in Nov 10.  IJM, Gamuda, WCT, Sunway, Loh & Loh, UEM Builders, MRCB, Scomi and Putrajaya Perdana are the potential beneficiaries.

Pahang-Selangor water transfer (downstream: Langat  2 treatment plant)	5,000	Although Kumpulan Darul Ehsan was awarded the contract in Feb ’08 by the federal government, recent indications are that the Chinese contractors may eventually feature instead.  Gamuda may benefit, riding on its experience in the SSP3 project.
