Checks for defects will cost RM22m, says Samy
This statement really befuddles me. Coming in the wake of the disgraceful government buliding mishaps in Putrajaya, our Works Minister now further requests an additonal RM 22 million for inspections ordered by our Prime Minister on Workers' Day!! Nowithstanding that these costs are to be borne by Malaysian taxpayers, of which I am one of, questions still remain unanswered:
1. How did the RM 22 million figure came about?
2. Who is performing the inspections? If it is the Public Works Department - why RM 22 million?
3. Is there any further transparency on the actual usage of the RM 22 million?
The shambolic misuse of government funds (in reality, taxpayers money!!) over the years have been repeatedly swept under the carpet: Matrade building scandal, our 'crooked bridge' horror, MRR Two bridge fiasco, and so on and so forth - or had it been used un-wisely to enrich the pockets of those politically connected?
I think all Malaysians worth their salt know the answer...
