PITAS 16th July, 2012: Kontraktor di negeri ini diminta lebih bertanggungjawab menjaga kualiti kerja dan menyiapkan sesuatu projek mengikut tempoh yang ditetapkan.
Pembantu Menteri Pelancongan, Kebudayaan dan Alam Sekitar Datuk Bolkiah Ismail berkata, ini penting kerana kegagalan menyiapkan sesuatu projek dalam tempoh yang ditetapkan atau tidak mengikut spesifikasi menyebabkan kualiti kerja diragui.
Katanya, walaupun ramai kontraktor Bumiputera kini mencapai kejayaan dalam sektor pembinaan namun masih ada segelintir yang bersikap ingin ‘cepat kaya’.
“Masalah kontraktor membuat kerja ‘cincai’ dan tidak mengikut spesifikasi bukan perkara baru. Isu ini sering dibangkitkan oleh kerajaan tetapi pihak kontraktor masih lagi mengulangi kesilapan yang sama.
“Misalnya ada projek jalan raya di negeri ini yang cepat pecah dan kerap kali ditampal kerana kerja-kerja pembinaan tidak berkualiti. Keadaan ini amat membahayakan pengguna jalanraya.
“Selain itu sesuatu projek tidak siap mengikut tempoh yang ditetapkan juga sering menjadi rungutan orang ramai. Walaupun siap tetapi kualitinya tidak seperti yang diharapkan,” katanya ketika berucap merasmikan Kursus Kontraktor Jalan Raya Pitas, baru-baru ini.
Oleh itu, Bolkiah menyeru kontraktor di negeri ini lebih ikhlas dalam melaksanakan tugas supaya mutu kerja lebih berkualiti, seterusnya meningkatkan imej industri binaan negara.
Katanya, bagi membantu kontraktor Bumiputera mengembangkan lagi perniagaan, kerajaan menyediakan pelbagai bantuan dan kemudahan
“Antaranya, kerajaan melalui Sedcovest melaksanakan program, seminar dan kursus keusahawanan dan kursus asas kontraktor yang bertujuan untuk membantu usahawan Bumiputera lebih berdaya saing,” katanya.
Bolkiah berkata, Kursus Kontraktor Jalanraya anjuran Sedcovest merupakan kursus untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan kemahiran asas kepada kontraktor sedia ada dan bakal kontraktor.
“Dalam persekitaran global yang lebih kompetitif, kita perlu menumpukan usaha kita meningkatkan kepakaran dan kemahiran agar lebih berdaya saing di peringkat antarabang- sa,” katanya.
Beliau berkata, dalam konsep 1Malaysia, kerajaan lebih terbuka memberikan peluang- peluang ekonomi kepada semua golongan masyarakat.
“Oleh itu usahawan bumiputera perlu merebut peluang yang ada agar tidak ketinggalan terutama penyertaan dalam pembangunan ekonomi yang semakin mencabar,” katanya.
mana2 kontraktor yang buat kerja cincai harus dikenakan tindakan.
BalasPadamBlacklist kontraktor yang buat kerja cincai dan tidak mengikuti piawaian yang ditetapkan.
PadamKontraktor ni bukannya tidak dibayar. Banyak projek2 yang terbengkalai sebab mereka.
BalasPadamBetul itu..Kepada kontraktor yang melakukan sedemikian seharusnya disenarai hitamkan dari mendapat tender projek.
BalasPadamsenang saja untuk bagi pengajaran kepada kontraktor yang suka buat kerja cincai ni.. senarai hitamkan saja mereka atau tarik balik lesen mereka..
BalasPadambila kontraktor tempatan tidak diberikan peluang untuk memperolehi projek2 kerajaan, banyak pula aduan atau kritikan dilemparkan kepada kerajaan.. bila diberikan projek, hasil kerjanya cincai2 belaka pula..
BalasPadamSabah should take the lead in the Green Building Index (GBI) initiative, said Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun. He said as a Minister, he would be more than happy to support any move by the Malaysian Institute of Architects (PAM) proposing for incentives in getting GBI certification.
BalasPadamMasidi thinks that Sabahans are too generous for no reason. he added that it is high time that the architects take the lead in this initiative. He said in building a city the planners must make sure that it provides a conducive environment for people to live in. “There is no use having a 50-storey building if people are not happy with it,” he said.
BalasPadamIn his speech, Masidi noted that the GBI developed by Malaysian architects and engineers was a professional-driven initiative to lead the property industry. He was encouraged to note that the GBI had full support of all the players in the property, construction and housing industry.
BalasPadamThis goes to show that the Malaysian development and construction industry is ready to confront important critical issues such as global warming, carbon emissions and climate change. He said GBI helped to reduce consumption of energy, water and waste and, at the same time, boost the property value and investment in the long run.
BalasPadamHe was pleased that the GBI forum would be preceded by a seminar focusing specifically on ways that architects and engineers could incorporate passive design features in order to comply with the Malaysian standards, MS1525. The MS1525 is the minimum standard for energy efficiency in the design of new buildings and retrofit of the existing buildings as well as requiring buildings to have a good energy management system and encouraged the use of renewal energy.
BalasPadamThe Government of Sabah is fully supportive of efforts and initiatives for the development of green and sustainable buildings in Sabah. He added that the State Government are looking at all possible avenues to encourage the development of new green and sustainable buildings as well as retrofit of the existing buildings into green buildings.
BalasPadamPAM Chairman Boon Che Wee said green buildings should be seen as architecture of hope instead of architecture of fear. If we don’t design and build green now, we will hasten climate change and cause further catastrophes to the world since buildings are said to consume over 32 per cent of the world’s resources, including 12 per cent of its water, up to 40 per cent of its energy and account for 40 per cent of greenhouse gas emission.
BalasPadam“I prefer to see green buildings as architecture of hope, because we do have the knowledge, the technology, the talent and most importantly, the opportunity now to design and build responsibly,” he said. Boon said building green remained the most sustainable strategy and perhaps the best hope to meet the challenge of global warming without dampening economic growth.
BalasPadamIn fact, he said the green industry had been credited for lessening the impact and even drove the recovery of a number of the economies through the last crisis. At the moment, he said PAM’s team of volunteers was also working with the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers to complete the new rating for industrial buildings, which would be launched in the first quarter of next year. This will be followed by the release in the second quarter, an appendix version of the non-residential rating for retail malls that is being reviewed with PPK, the High Rise and Shopping Complex Association, he said.
