The government has received a new proposal to complete the remaining construction of the stalled Maju Expressway extension (MEX II) project. This is according to works minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, who said the proposal was submitted by the receivers and managers of the project concessionaire, MEX II Sdn Bhd, in December 2025 to the Public-Private Partnership Unit (UKAS) under the prime minister’s department.
“The government is currently reviewing the proposal before presenting it to the cabinet for a decision,” Nanta said in a written parliamentary reply to Yeo Bee Yin (PH-Puchong). Yeo had asked the works ministry about the reasons for the delay in 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-toll, three-lane dual carriageway linking the MEX Putrajaya Interchange to the KLIA highway began in early 2017 and was originally due to be completed in December 2019. However, cash flow problems stalled works and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has gotten involved to investigate alleged false claims involving RM360 million.
In December last year, Nanta said it is estimated to cost RM449 million to complete the long-delayed project, with the final cost likely to be higher due to current price levels, repair costs as well as other expenses.

So which cronies made a quick buck before wasting taxpayers money for the 2nd time or it does not matter.
360 juta Rm of fake claims…can u believe that?
Jail the culprits by hook or crook..but who r the officials who process the claims? You mean they dont double check b4 payment?
Come on,even our cucu in year 1 said it is a mega project joke.
Thats how our tax Ringgit is squandered by well connected crooks.
Still waiting for above janji during last GE and last last GE.
Please before all That has maju holdings paid back the RM950 mil. Gomen grant provided for them to build MEX I
RM naik pun projek masih mahal , jadi apalah pula maknanya RM tinggi pada rakyat jelata. 1 apa pun tarak bah…
yet another taxpayer bailout because tansri Sabu Ahid spent all the money on casino and liquor
Here’s an idea…scrap it and return the land to the state if it can’t be built and is of questionable economic feasibility. Why pour another half billion ringgit down the drain and keep bailing them out ad infinitum? Then this clown minister will later say “we have to compensate concessionaire so rakyat don’t have toll increase, we are such a caring gomen”.
so what’s the update about the culprit? still walking free?
