KUALA LUMPUR, 4 MAY 2026 – Advancecon Holdings Berhad (前进控股有限公司) (“Advancecon” or “the Group”) (Bursa: 5281), an established provider of earthworks and civil engineering services in Malaysia, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Advancecon Infra Sdn. Bhd. (“AISB”), has accepted a Letter of Acceptance (“LOA”) together with a supplementary addendum from Johor Corporation (“JCorp”) for the execution of infrastructure works at the Tanjung Langsat Industrial Complex, Pasir Gudang, Johor. The RM47.6 million award marks Advancecon's third major Johor contract secured in 2026 and reinforces the Group's growing role as an infrastructure partner within the state's industrial expansion, a trajectory underpinned by the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone ("JS-SEZ") and intensifying cross-border business activities.
The contract covers the construction and completion of roadworks, drainage systems, street lighting, landscaping, and other associated infrastructure works across Jalan Teruntum 4, Jalan Teruntum 5, part of Jalan Teruntum 1, and part of Jalan Rumbia 2 within the industrial complex. The project is scheduled for completion within 12 months, commencing from 28 April 2026.
Tanjung Langsat Industrial Complex sits within Johor’s Pasir Gudang industrial corridor, a key node supporting manufacturing, logistics and downstream activities. The supporting road and drainage infrastructure works are expected to enhance internal connectivity and site efficiency, strengthening the area’s readiness for continued industrial expansion. This is Advancecon's latest engagement supporting Johor's industrial build out, following its earlier wins for the Southern Catalyst Innovation District (RM82.1 million) and Southern Ibrahim Technopolis (RM148.4 million), collectively reinforcing the Group's established footprint along Malaysia's most active industrial corridor.
