"These initiatives ensure that the sector stays resilient amid rising costs," he said at the launch of the International Construction Week and BuildXpo 2024.The government is taking proactive steps to ensure the construction industry remains competitive and sustainable amid expectations of rising tender prices, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
政府正採取積極措施，確保在預期招標價格上漲的情況下，施工行業仍保持競爭力和可持續性，總理拿督斯里安華·易卜拉欣表示。
He said the government is driving major infrastructure projects to ensure the construction sector remains resilient by enhancing public-private partnerships (PPPs).
他表示，政府正在推動重要的基礎設施項目，以確保施工行業通過增強公私合作伙伴關係（PPP）而保持彈性。
The projects include the Sarawak-Sabah Link Road Phase 2, the Pan-Borneo Highway upgrades and the data centre developments in Johor.
這些項目包括砂拉越-沙巴連接道路第二階段、橫貫婆羅洲公路升級以及柔佛數據中心的開發。
"These initiatives ensure that the sector stays resilient amid rising costs," he said at the launch of the International Construction Week and BuildXpo 2024.
「這些舉措確保了該行業在成本上漲的同時保持彈性，」他在國際建築周和BuildXpo 2024啓動儀式上說。
Anwar's text speech was read by Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.
安華的文本演講由工程部長拿督斯里亞歷山大·南達·林吉朗代表宣讀。
Anwar said the construction industry is growing in tandem with the evolution of digital technology including big data and artificial intelligence, which exponentially increases demand for data centres.
安華表示，施工行業與數字技術的發展（包括大數據和人工智能）同步增長，這大幅提高了對數據中心的需求。
"Our nation's rise in the Data Centre Cost Index — surpassing Oslo, Berlin and Sydney — demonstrates our growing leadership in this sector.
“我們國家在數據中心成本指數方面的上升——超過奧斯陸、柏林和悉尼——顯示了我們在這一領域日益增長的領導地位。
"Industry giants like Microsoft Corp, Amazon Web Services and Google LLC have chosen Malaysia for their data centre expansions due to our strategic location, robust infrastructure, and supportive government policies," he said, adding that this symbiotic relationship between construction technology and data centres will be pivotal in driving Malaysia's leadership in both industries.
「像微軟公司、亞馬遜網絡服務和谷歌有限責任公司這樣的行業巨頭選擇馬來西亞進行數據中心擴張，是因爲我們的戰略位置、強大的基礎設施和支持性政府政策，」他說，並補充說，建築技術與數據中心之間的這種共生關係將對推動馬來西亞在兩個行業中的領導地位至關重要。
"But as this growth accelerates, so does the need for energy and water, with data centres requiring vast amounts of both to function efficiently.
但隨着這種增長加速，對能源和水的需求也在增長，數據中心需要大量的能源和水來高效運行。
"Therefore, integrating green technologies and smart energy management into data centre construction will be critical in ensuring the growth aligns with Malaysia's commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and our transition towards a low-carbon economy by 2050," he noted.
因此，將綠色技術和智能能源管理融入數據中心的施工中將至關重要，以確保增長與馬來西亞對可持續發展目標（SDGs）承諾以及我們向低碳經濟轉型的目標相一致，" 他指出。
Anwar added that the government will also invest heavily in green building practices and low-carbon infrastructure development, further aligning the nation's commitments to the SDGs.
安華補充說，政府還將大力投資於綠色建築實踐和低碳基礎設施開發，進一步使國家的承諾與SDGs保持一致。
Some data on the construction sector's stellar performance, which recorded a 17.3% growth for the three quarters of 2024, were also shared.
還分享了有關施工板塊出色表現的一些數據，截至2024年三季度，增長率達到了17.3%。
This marked the first double-digit growth the country has achieved since 2014, reflecting the industry's capacity to overcome adversity and emerge stronger, he noted.
“這標誌着自2014年以來該國取得的首次兩位數增長，反映了該行業克服逆境、壯大的能力，" 他指出。
Anwar believes that the surge in construction activity will lead to more job creation, bolster domestic and foreign investment, and drive infrastructure development across the country, propelling Malaysia as the leader in the region's construction industry.
安華認爲，施工活動的激增將帶來更多的就業機會，增強國內外投資，並推動全國範圍內的基礎設施開發，將馬來西亞推動成爲地區領先的施工業。
