“We are pleased to have met our target for the year well-ahead of the end of the year. We will continue to work to secure new contracts and move forward with our expansion strategy into ASEAN and India,” said Sunway Construction Group Berhad Managing Director Chung Soo Kiong.

Earlier this year, the company had signed a memorandum of understanding with Myanmar’s Capital Diamond Star Group in April, tendering for three rail and road projects in India where it was in, and ventured into piling in Singapore.
