KUALA LUMPUR: All government contracts will be made fully transparent from next year, with the public able to access details of successful contractors, contract values and project progress, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.

Anwar said the measure would cover all public projects and allow communities to assess whether developments in their areas were being carried out by responsible contractors.

"I said from next year, every single contract, building schools or hospitals or universities or roads, must be fully transparent.

"Who wins the contract, what's the amount, which company gets the contract, what's the cost, what's the progress, and why this company won against other competitors.
