408 projects under 9MP yet to be completed



A TOTAL of 408 projects allocated in the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) have yet to be completed as at December last year, Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk S.K. Devamany said.

They were part of the 25,974 projects awarded under the 9MP from 2006 to 2010, he told Senator Datuk Daljit Singh Dalliwal.

Devamany said that among the reasons cited for the delays were financial problems faced by contractors and their lack of expertise.

“There are contractors who handled too many projects at one time,” he added. However, the projects would not be abandoned as new tenders would be re-opened.

“Contractors who fail to complete their projects risk being blacklisted and will not be given a chance under the 10th Malaysia Plan,” Devamany said.

Deputy Home Minister Datuk Lee Chee Leong said a total of 10,958 police officers undertook training in customer services, administrative and communication skills last year.

He said the training was given to enhance counter services when they faced the public.
