Satu lagi projek UMNO/BN II

The STAR quoted that the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is now set to probe the RM6bil Ipoh-Rawang electrification and double track rail project, which has a cost overrun reaching RM1.14bil. PAC chairman Datuk Seri Azmi Khalid said the PAC was in the midst of determining the scope of the probe and shortlisting those who will be called up in the inquiry.He told The Star yesterday that the double track railway project, which was highlighted in the Auditor-General’s (A-G) 2008 report, was a handful of cases that the PAC would probe.
Asked why the committee planned to probe another project under the Transport Ministry, Azmi said it was not the ministry that was being targeted but big projects which incurred huge losses.“The public is asking questions on losses incurred and we have to do our job,’’ he stressed, adding that the A-G highlighted cases of mismanagement every year and cost overruns but there seemed to be no improvement.
Why is that only now he is doing his job, when he knew that every year it is the same story and by the what what was he doing all this while?

Lets see how the Malaysian government manages multi billion dollar projects;

1)The contract between DRB-Hicom and the Government was signed on April 2, 2001
2)The project however suffered problems which caused numerous delays, resulting in the government terminating the contract with DRB-Hicom and appointing UEM Construction Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of UEM (M) Bhd, to take over the project from 1 June 2005.
3) In May 2006 he government paid DRB-Hicom a sum of RM425mil as compensation for their termination.
4) Another sub-contractor Mitsui had also submitted a claim for compensation for being unable to carry out part of the project because of the delays to civil works with the government settling on an undisclosed sum in December 2006.

So, this is how the government runs "satu lagi project oleh kerajaan BN", I guess may be since the great Mahathir's period, the so called Bapa Permodenan Malaysia?
