KUALA LUMPUR (April 23): Kerjaya Prospek Group Bhd has secured a contract worth RM438.8 million for construction of main building works for a proposed development project.

In a filing to Bursa Malaysia today, Kerjaya Prospek said its unit Kerjaya Prospek (M) Sdn Bhd (KPMSB) had accepted a letter of award from Kerjaya Prospek Property Sdn Bhd (KPPSB), a related party.

It said the contract covers the construction of main building for the proposed mixed development comprising a 25-storey block of offices and hotel and two 53-storey blocks of serviced apartments on top of an 11-storey podium and four levels of basement at Jalan Puchong, Kuala Lumpur.
