The country’s major construction associations have raised strong concerns over the Road Transport Department’s (JPJ) “Ops Lebih Muatan” campaign, warning that the sudden enforcement of new overloading rules could severely disrupt Malaysia’s construction supply chain and derail critical infrastructure projects.

In a joint statement, the Master Builders Association Malaysia (MBAM), Persatuan Kontraktor Bumiputra Malaysia (PKBM), and Persatuan Kontraktor India Malaysia (PKIM) said the nationwide operation — effective from 15 October to 31 December 2025 — risks paralyzing the sector due to its abrupt implementation and lack of transitional support.

While the associations said they support road safety and infrastructure preservation, they cautioned that the newly intensified enforcement regime, which includes on-the-spot fines, vehicle seizures, and referrals to the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD), will have a “ripple effect” across the construction ecosystem. “The sudden enforcement without adequate transitional support risks paralyzing the construction sector at a time when the economy is still recovering,” the statement read.

Severe Disruptions to Supply Chain and Costs

The groups warned that the crackdown will lead to immediate cost escalations and supply chain bottlenecks, particularly for the transport of essential materials such as sand, cement, and aggregates, which are mostly carried by heavy commercial vehicles now subjected to stricter load limits.

Compliance, they said, will require fleet upgrades, new weighing systems, and more drivers to accommodate the increased number of trips needed under the new limits — potentially doubling haulage costs. The rule mandating local drivers further compounds the issue amid an existing driver shortage.

The associations reported that concrete batching plants are already running low on raw materials, with cement and aggregate shortages beginning to bite. Prices for quarry products are expected to rise in the coming weeks, worsening cost pressures across the sector.

“If the situation does not improve, the industry will face a serious shortage from its supply chain. To meet current demand, we would need to double machinery and manpower — which is impossible overnight,” the statement added.
