The Malay Contractors Association of Malaysia (PKMM) has warned that contractors working on projects under the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW) are facing severe cash flow issues due to delayed payments, threatening their operations and forcing some to shut down. The association's president said the problem has worsened over recent months, with payments for completed work delayed for months, and urged the government to address the issue urgently.
