Monitor projects closely to avoid appointing rescue contractors, says PM

KUCHING, Oct 23 — Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob does not want the practice of appointing rescue contractors to persist and instead has called for closer monitoring of government projects from the beginning to ensure they are completed according to schedule.

The prime minister said contractors who were late or failed to complete projects not only undermined the government and people’s aspirations but also caused project costs to increase. “The existing contractors should be monitored until the work is completed because if it involves such a delay, the hope of people in this area and the government to get a hospital will be affected, and worse still the cost will rise,” he told a press conference after visiting the Hospital Petra Jaya project site here today.

For HPJ, the rescue contractor began work on the uncompleted portion of the abandoned works early this year and the hospital is expected to be in full operation in 2024. HPJ was once categorised as a “sick project” after it fell behind its scheduled completion date of November 2016 due to delays in construction. — Bernama

You still do not understand why projects fail so miserably.....

Dont lump the damn packages in tender together. There are many specialized jobs which are not suitable for everyone. Main con hanya sapu kontrak besar tapi specialist yg tinggal tulang kena tanggung semua beban hingga mati.

heres an idea, why dont appoint qualified contractors instead of ali babas.

But not monitoring after 1st round of 'payments' and appointing rescue contractors are where the 💰💴💵💶💷 continue to flow.

He mean bumi contractors with good record. Cakap la
