The government has received a new proposal to complete the remaining construction of the stalled Maju Expressway Expansion Project (MEX II). This is according to Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, who said the proposal was submitted to the Public-Private Partnership Unit (UKAS) under the Prime Minister’s Department by the trustees and managers of the project concessionaire, MEX II Sdn Bhd, in December 2025.
“The government is currently studying the proposal before submitting it to the Cabinet for a decision,” Nanta said in a statement written parliamentary answer to Yeo Bee Yin (PH-Puchong). Yeo had asked the Ministry of Works about the reasons for the delay of the MEX II project, which has been under receivership since 2022, and the measures being taken to ensure the project is completed as soon as possible.
Construction of the 18 km long, open, three-lane dual carriageway connecting the MEX Putrajaya Interchange to the KLIA Expressway began in early 2017 and was originally scheduled to be completed by December 2019. However, operations stalled due to cash flow problems and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has become involved in investigating alleged false claims involving RM360 million.
In December last year, Nanta said it will cost an estimated RM449 million to complete the long-delayed project, with the final cost likely to be higher due to the current price level, repair costs and other expenses.
