Any difference?

I saw this in Kit's blog and I put here to show you the difference between Malaysia and the rest of the world with my comment below

by Sara Wak

The Seef Flyover, Manama, Bahrain - RM100 million, The Kuching Flyover - More than RM 200 million - Why?

The differences are -

The Seef Flyover, Manama, Bahrain was built by WCT Engineering Bhd. from west Malaysia.

The Kuching Flyover was built by Global Upline Sdn Bhd.

You can see the difference in quality also. The Seef Flyover is of international standard, whereas the Kuching Flyover is on a much lower standard.

Why did it cost so much more to build the Kuching Flyover?

Abdullah Badawi has to explain. Our Dear Samy Vellu will also have to explain.

There is no other better day for him to explain other than his wedding day today!

Again? Enough is enough? When are we learning to be good? I don't understand the need for corruption in high places. Millions of Ringgit is lost due to malpractices and maladministration of agencies in the government. Monies such as these can be put in greater use for healthcare, infrastructure and education of the interior of Sarawak. I'm sad to see that there are existence among us the hardcore poor in the rural of Sarawak and some parts of Malaysia. I'm hard pressed to even hear the blatant and open corruption of people in high places make. The difference of RM100 millions can do great things for all Malaysians regardless of race and religion. The time has come for a change to see a better Malaysia. Can we say enough is enough?
