Number of abandoned educational projects in Sabah alarming – PBS
April 1, 2011, Friday KOTA KINABALU: The number of abandoned projects undertaken by the Education Ministry in Sabah is a cause for concern and alarming, said Kadamaian assemblyman Datuk Herbert T Lagadan.
He also pointed out that most of the failed projects were awarded by the Education Ministry’s office in Kuala Lumpur.
The Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) vice president questioned the reason for the problem and asked, “was it possible that the people who made the decisions in choosing a contractor have very little knowledge about Sabah?
“As an example, I am sure many of the top officers in Kuala Lumpur do not know the whereabouts of Kota Belud or any other towns and villages in Sabah. If so, then how are they able to know the basic requirements of a contractor to be able to start a project?” the Assistant Minister of Community Service and Consumer Affair stressed.
According to him, seldom had projects undertaken by any federal ministry which were awarded in Sabah failed.
“I therefore propose that the Education Ministry give certain autonomous power to its officers in Sabah to deliberate on the award of projects to local contractors,” he said and lamented that even the tendering process to supply food in the school hostels is done in Kuala Lumpur.
“Why can’t it be done by the education or federal officer in Sabah? Is there any inherent mistrust by federal officers in Kuala Lumpur towards officers in Sabah?
“If the 1Malaysia concept is to be more meaningful, then Kuala Lumpur must give some level of trust and autonomy to Sabah’s officers,” he said.
Sepatutnya kerajaan Sabah yang memberikan projek-projek ini kepada kontraktor tempatan yang boleh dipercayai.
BalasPadamKerajaan Sabah patut diberikan kuasa untuk menentukan pengagihan projek seperti ini.

BalasPadamGood proposal indeed. Local contractors should be given the chance.
kontraktor yang gagal menyiapkan projek perlu dikenakan tindakan atas kegagalan mereka menyiapkan kerja mereka.
BalasPadamMungkin ada baiknya jika kerajaan Sabah diberikan kuasa dalam mengendalikan hal2 sebegini.
BalasPadamSemoga hal ini dapat ditanggani dengan baik.
BalasPadamSetuju, kerajaan Sabah patut diberikan lebih banyak kuasa untuk mentadbir Sabah.
BalasPadamPriority to the local contractor that can trusted. If anything happen easy to find LOL.. i think better use local product (contractor) much safe & local also got quality ba.
BalasPadamkementerian pendidikan wajar mempertimbangkan cadangan ini untuk kebaikan rakyat Sabah dan juga kerajaan.
BalasPadamtidak ada salahnya jika kerajaan dan kementerian berkenaan mencuba cadangan ini sementara dipihak kerajaan juga tidak mempunyai cadangan penyelesaian yang lebih baik.
BalasPadamPasti ada yang tidak betul dengan. Siasat siapa yang meluluskan projek kerajaan.
BalasPadamMesti mencari jalan penyelesaian jika tidak keadaan akan tetap sama.
