So much for the euphoria and celebration to mark the opening of the RM36mil National Center of Excellence as part of the Youth Sport Complex. It was published as one of the best swimming and diving facilities in this country. Even the Federal Sport Minister was visiting the facilities to give support and get some free publicity.
The center was opened with much a fanfare, for the "great effort of the Federal Government to recognize the mould the local talents". What a anti-climax, they cannot even learn how to build a diving platform, a structure so basic that even an undergraduate would be able to design one, provided he is given the freedom to choose.
It is not UNCOMMON to find building build by Malaysia Federal Government, cracking and cannot be used. The most recent was, the ceiling of a public hospital felled off and injured the hospital workers...see

Another well known case was the MRR2 pillars that cracked. 31 out of the 33 pillars needed repair costing million. Although it was clear that it was not caused by nature, the peoples money was used to repair. The inconvenience and traffic delays was causing million MR, but there was no explanation by the contractors, and not even an apology.
Back to the issue in Sarawak.. it seem that they are asking for more of the Federal Funds... remind me of the speech by our PM..." I screeched your back and your screech my back....how much Lu want??"
