The public will be able to access details of government projects from next year, as all government contracts are set to be made transparent, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

This follows the Government Procurement Act coming into force next year, which will allow communities to scrutinise whether developments in their areas are carried out responsibly.

"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.
