Bolehland at Syariah Court

I think Malaysia is the only country in the whole wide world experiencing cracks and ceiling crashing down in government buildings. This time the Syariah Court in Johor Bahru. The NST reported that the court complex was open early this year at a cost of RM27 million. Gosh another wasted expenditure. I got the strong feeling that our tax will go up by next year. Countless time government building falling apart and countless times repairs that got to be done. I bet you staff working in those government building will never work peacefully since things like this happen. Events like this should not have happened in the first place. First it was Putrajaya pipe leakage, then you had the Court complex (which a friend of mine pass by and says wow it's awesome), then you have hospitals going hay wire, back to the courts again in Jalan Duta and now JB syariah Court, all happen in the past two months. And all buildings are suppose to be new. Hello?? Anybody listening?

I'm not talking about shabby work. I'm talking about corruption and misappropriation of public funds by some contractors who simply have good connection with the people at the top. In this country it's not about the merit but who knows who. What is the country becoming? I call upon the sacking of all stupid and irresponsible contractors and engineers under the pay roll of the Ministry of Works, Finance Ministry and Public Works Department. I also call upon all involved especially the Ministers and Director General of Public Works to be accountable and take the responsibility to resign from their portfolios as what they have done is wasting public funds and at the same time causing such embarrassment to the country we once loved.

To make matter worst, a Minister did say that government building need not have a Certificate of fitness. This is somewhat surprising to the ordinary people. There must be some form of certification in enabling occupation. For the past months, we heard of so many mishaps, but we have yet to hear any injured or died as a result of being hit by falling ceilings. But the time will come and who is to be held responsible for the priceless life.

Enough is enough, there must be a change for the better.

I bet you cost of repair on the mishap that happen in the syariah court is RM2.7 million. What say you?
