The Ministry of Works (Malay: Kementerian Kerja Raya; Jawi: كمنترين كرجا راي), abbreviated KKR, is a ministry of the Government of Malaysia that is responsible for public works, highway authority, construction industry, engineers, architects and quantity surveyors.
The Ministry of Works is responsible for administration of several key acts of parliament.
This marked the beginning point where the local government departments in the Malay Peninsula were permitted to implement their own policies and programs respectively.
The functions and responsibilities of the Public Works Department were retained and put under the purview of the ministry’s administration.
The rapid progress made in the country's development and socioeconomic condition during the 1970s resulted in the increase of the ministry’s functions and roles.
