KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 27 — The 122-kilometre East Coast Expressway Phase 3 (LPT3) will be implemented through privatisation under a public-private partnership (PPP) arrangement via a competitive bidding process or Request for Proposal (RFP), with the successful bidder bearing the full development cost.

Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the proposed alignment, stretching from Kampung Gemuruh in Terengganu to Tunjong in Kelantan, would complement LPT1 and LPT2 in connecting Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan.

He said the project’s Statement of Needs (SON) had been submitted to the Public Private Partnership Unit (UKAS) under the Prime Minister’s Department to prepare the RFP documents before they are submitted to the Cabinet for consideration and a decision.

“The proposal is currently at the RFP document preparation stage,” he said when winding up the debate on the Supply Bill 2027 (Budget 2027) at the policy stage for the Works Ministry in the Dewan Rakyat today.

Nanta said the government’s current priority was to ensure that the Central Spine Road (LTU) and Kota Bharu-Kuala Krai Highway (KBKK) projects progressed smoothly and were completed on schedule.

For the 70.4-kilometre KBKK project, he said overall physical progress had reached 78.80 per cent, with the Pasir Hor-Kadok stretch fully completed. The remaining five packages are under construction and are expected to be completed in 2027.

The Kelantan section of the LTU, comprising 10 sub-packages worth RM3.08 billion from Kuala Krai to Gua Musang, is expected to be fully completed by 2028, he added.

On delays to LTU Package 3, involving Sections 3B and 3C, Nanta said the appointment of a replacement contractor was in the final stage of the procurement process.

“The Letter of Acceptance is targeted for issuance by mid-November 2026, subject to Finance Ministry approval. This will allow construction work to resume and the remaining work to be completed according to the revised schedule,” he said.

Meanwhile, Nanta said four of the 35 work packages under the 706-kilometre Pan Borneo Highway Sabah project had been completed, while the remaining 31 were targeted for completion in stages by 2030.

He said physical progress had reached 89.54 per cent for Phase 1A and 25.53 per cent for Phase 1B.

For 2027, the Works Ministry has been allocated RM1.146 billion for operating expenditure, an increase of 5.6 per cent, and RM9.736 billion for development expenditure, up 3.0 per cent from RM9.607 billion in 2026. — Bernama

吉隆坡，10 月 27 日讯——全长 122 公里的东海岸高速公路第三期 (LPT3) 将通过公私合营 (PPP) 模式进行私有化，并通过竞争性招标或征求建议书 (RFP) 的方式进行招标，中标者将承担全部开发成本。

工程部长拿督斯里亚历山大南达林宜表示，拟议的路线从登嘉楼州的甘榜格姆鲁延伸至吉兰丹州的敦戎，将补充连接彭亨州、登嘉楼州和吉兰丹州的LPT1和LPT2。

他表示，该项目的需求说明书（SON）已提交给首相署下属的公私合作部门（UKAS），由其准备招标书文件，然后提交内阁审议和决定。

“该提案目前正处于征求建议书（RFP）文件准备阶段，”他在今天国会下议院就工程部政策阶段的《2027年供应法案》（2027年预算案）进行辩论结束时说道。

南塔表示，政府目前的首要任务是确保中央脊柱公路（LTU）和哥打巴鲁-瓜拉吉赖高速公路（KBKK）项目顺利推进并按计划完成。

他表示，全长70.4公里的KBKK项目整体已完成78.80%，其中巴西霍尔至加多段已全部竣工。剩余五个标段正在建设中，预计将于2027年完工。

他补充说，从瓜拉吉赖到瓜拉姆桑的LTU吉兰丹段，包括10个子项目，价值30.8亿令吉，预计将于2028年全面完工。

关于 LTU 3 号包（涉及 3B 和 3C 部分）的延误，Nanta 表示，更换承包商的工作已进入采购流程的最后阶段。

“根据财政部的批准，预计将于2026年11月中旬签发中标通知书。这将使施工工作得以恢复，剩余工程也将按照修订后的时间表完成，”他说道。
