10. Sometimes, and I am not saying this of the contractor for the main project; sometimes very low price would be proposed so as to win the contract. Then as the construction is in progress there would be cost overruns and eventually the total cost would be far higher than the price of the bid. The owner of the project would be asked to pay for the new cost.
11. The Bakun hydro project was given to Sime Darby and Chinese partner at RM1.8 billion.
12. Now the CEO has been dismissed because of cost overrun in the Bakun project amounting to RM900 million. But I believe, and Sime Darby can correct me, the overrun is more than that because the Government has already compensated Sime Darby with about RM700 million. So total cost overrun would be almost equal to the bidded price of RM1.8 billion. The price has been doubled.
I think the people are entitled to know when a public company loses over a billion ringgit. Proton lost only RM500 million so that is acceptable. Is losing RM1 billion also acceptable?
------------
This is not a matter of acceptable or not acceptable. What can the public do about it? We cannot say "shut down Proton if it makes too much loses!"
BalasPadamNasi dah menjadi bubur, macam mana kita boleh membetulkan hal seperti ini?
BalasPadamlosing even RM1 of government / the people money should be question. The money should be manage correctly, not being misused...period...
BalasPadamnothing we can do.. is unexpected to happen. but should we stop the project or continue?.. we can get back the 'lost' after the project is fully completed.
BalasPadammasalah ini timbul disebabkan kontraktor bukannya kerajaan. kerajaan hanya mengharapkan projek ini terus berjalan dan siap sepenuhnya 2012. kalau kita sendiri yang urus projek ni, macam mana kita menghadapi masalah ini? hentikan projek? atau tambah dana? semasa projek ni dalam perancangan tiada yang dapat menjangka bahawa 2010 projek ni akan menghadapi masalah seperti ini...
BalasPadampada masa hadapan, harap masalah seumpama tidak timbul...perancangan yang betul2 teliti dengan kajian yang saintifik dan jitu perlu bagi projek mega seperti ini...
BalasPadamQuestioning would not bring back the money...
BalasPadamsemua kerugian boleh dapat balik.. sebab projek bakun ni akan disalurkan ke negara2 jiran spt Brunei dan kalimantan.. malah empangan ini juga boleh dipromosikan sebagai pusat pelancongan sama seperti Tasik kenyir yang kini menempatkan Stesen Janaelektrik Sultan Mahmud.
BalasPadamapa2pun projek ini tetap diteruskan, namun kerajaan dan pihak2 yang terbabit perlu mengkaji semula dan buat perancangan yang tepat. Malaysia perlu buktikan kepada negara luar bahawa kita juga mampu mengendalikan projek mega seperti ini.
BalasPadamLain kali bagilah projek kepada syarikat yang berkelayakan, bukan hanya disebabkan syarikat itu boleh menawarkan harga yang lebih murah. Qualiti juga penting.
BalasPadamWe can't leave in the past anymore. We have to move forward. There's no turning back...
BalasPadamHopefully the government will learn from past mistakes so that the same thing would not be repeated.
BalasPadamDo whatever needs to be done. If the continuous losses does not cease, then Sime Darby should consider going private.
BalasPadamThe right action needs to be taken to get to the bottom of this case.
