Pak Lah orders immediate inspection of government buildings
Frankly to tell you the truth I'm not surprised. Coming in the wake of problems facing government buildings, two further ceiling collapses in a matter of days strikes home the point. Of course the blame game will go on and on, but I wonder who will be made the scapegoat...
But it's no surprise that these things mainly happen to government buildings. Goes to show the amount of palm-greasing that happen behind-the-scenes, well until attention-grabbing news like this occurs. Shoddy workmanship, poor quality materials and poor maintenance: these are to blame. Of course the not mentioned greed among the main contractors that get the job culminates in this.
Like I said before, only happens to government bulidings because the authorities will close one eye after a while irrespective of the initial furore - just wait and see. And private construction companies plying their trade overseas cannot afford for these to happen - so the best is saved for those projects. Isn't it sad?
