Malaysia 8 Malaysia: The busiest construction activities in this country will not end soon, as Singapore 18 the Government has assured new infrastructure projects will be implemented as planned. However, there is a likely trend for developers to slow down their Thailand 28 launches for residential and non-residential projects due to the weak property Adhi Karya Persero (ADHI IJ) 37 market. Our analyst believes infrastructure spending by the Government will boost new construction projects awarded to contractors in FY16-17.

According to RHB’s estimate, the four ASEAN countries in our survey – Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand – have the potential to see their GDPs increase gradually in FY16-17. Although all four economies have faced economic challenges due to internal and external threats, their governments are focusing on different engines to boost GDP growth to a higher level. Indonesia and Thailand remain focused on public investments in infrastructure projects, while Singapore and Malaysia are relying on the export sector and domestic consumption respectively. It is interesting to note, however, that the growth of construction activities in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand is estimated to be far above their respective GDP growth. Meanwhile, the construction sector in Singapore is significant to some degree.

Located in the heart of the city, the clove-shaped flyover connects its most crowded areas – including the Sudirman Central Business District (SCBD), Thamrin, Senayan and Kuningan – within a 3km radius. These areas also cover the city’s two major roads, Sudirman Road and Gatot Subroto Road, which are the centre of Jakarta’s activity, with a large number of office buildings, apartments and shopping centres located along them.

This resulted in a decrease in supply in 2016, as developers opted to delay the construction of their projects. Our ground checks reveal that 50% of the construction projects around the Semanggi flyover are still concentrated towards Sudirman Road. We think that this is in line with the Government’s recent infrastructure development, including its MRT plan.

  • Delhi BRT System – Lessons Learnt
    Delhi BRT System – Lessons Learnt Delhi BRT System – Lesson Learnt 1.0 Introduction Delhi is known as ‘city of flyovers’ in India. In last decade, a number of flyovers were built to ease the traffic condition on the road. Flyovers and underpasses were built to increase the mobility of the commuters. The new expanded road spaces were seen as a symbol of progress and speed and were accepted with much fanfare. However, each action has many tradeoffs. In order to create private vehicle oriented infrastructure, the public transportation system was neglected. Further with city’s buoyant economy, cars have replaced buses on the roads and cyclists have switched to two-wheelers and motorcycles. Pedestrians are now treated as most marginalized commuters on the road. Increased number of vehicles on the road has not only reduced the mobility of large section of people, but has also increased the pollution level, journey time and average per KM fuel consumption. In 2002, Supreme Court issued an order to convert all diesel buses into CNG. The action aimed to reduce the carbon level in the air and also generated hopes of a clean and healthier society. However, in a time of less than a decade, the gains that accrued from the CNG program have been lost. All the options available under the first generation reforms have been exhausted. In August 2008, the average total suspended particulate (TSP) level in Delhi was 378 micrograms per cubic meter--approximately five times the World Health Organization’s (WHO) annual average standard (Source: Central Pollution Control Board). It is estimated that over 3000 metric tons of air pollutants are emitted in Delhi (MOEF, 2002).
