As Malaysia gears up for its highly anticipated 2025 Budget announcement on October 18, one key area that warrants significant attention is the quality of the nation’s roads. Despite
ongoing infrastructure development projects and ambitious plans to modernize public transportation, Malaysia’s road network remains an essential component of its transport system. However, concerns about road quality, congestion, and connectivity are mounting, with Malaysia being ranked 48th out of 59 countries in terms of road quality in 2022. This puts Malaysia among the worst globally and there is a need for immediate reforms to improve the state of the nation’s road infrastructure.
