AECOM , a leading global engineering design firm with an already significant operation in Greater Kuala Lumpur , predicts continued growth in construction and infrastructure spending in Asia . Infrastructure was behind 37 percent of total construction spending of $ 32 billion in 2013 in Asia , according to AECOM ’ s Asia Construction Outlook 2014 report .
These trends are good news for Malaysia , and Greater Kuala Lumpur particularly , where several major public infrastructure projects are now under way or soon will be as part of the region ’ s National Key Economic Area ( NKEA ) status , and for engineering and construction firms that are in Greater Kuala Lumpur now or are considering opening operations there .
These projects include : High-speed rail service between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore , which would reduce the 350 kilometre journey to 90 minutes ; An integrated Urban Mass Rapid Transit System incorporating light rail and monorail , bus , taxi and terminal components ; River Cleaning and Beautification with a view to making the Klang River a central ingredient in Greater Kuala Lumpur ’ s revitalization programme . In summary , Greater Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia ’ s primary facilitator of trade , most economically vibrant and commercially important region . The city intends to become a world-class metropolis and one of the world ’ s top investments destinations .
