Read those dual items above? Good, right away read a dual news items subsequent byThe StarandThe Edge.
Okay, what I want to speak about is what wasNOTreported in a news. The RM1.6 billion proposal for a 51km Sungai Buloh-Kajang My Rapid Transit (MRT) plan had already closed with 6 companies behest for a job. Then, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak educated MRT Corp to reopen a proposal to concede a association corroborated by Desmond Lim to contention a bid.
This made everybody indignant as well as 3 of a companies withdrew as well as refused to experience in a 're-tender'. This brand brand brand new player was not usually not pre-qualified for a pursuit though is well known to be a Najib-crony company. Desmond Lim is additionally a partner with a controversial playboy, Taek Jho Low, who is related to 'First Lady' Rosmah Mansor, as well as is a key player in a Sungai Besi airfield redevelopment.
It looks like in a! finish it is regularly a same players.Pi mai, pi mai, tang tu juga, as a Penangites will say. Najib, Rosmah, Desmond Lim, Jho Low, Tan Kay Hock. It is regularly these same people getting a multi-billion ringgit government jobs.
What reforms as well as distinctness is Najib talking about when he can reopen a closed proposal to concede his crony-companies to contention a bid even when a association has not been pre-qualified for a job? And right away which everybody has already submitted their prices it is so easy for a brand brand brand new association to contention an even lower price to outbid everybody else.
Oh, they can regularly emanate a Variation Order later to increase a price so which during a finish of a day they can have even some-more money. So a 'lower' bidder will not lose. It is usually a taxpayers who will lose. And Desmond Lim, Jho Low, as well as Rosmah can giggle all a approach to a bank.
Maybe subsequent time Jho Low will not have a same inapplicable designation of sending a multi-million USD ring by post through a Malaysian Customs Department. Just trip it in your slot as well as go meet a 'First Lady' in Europe or somewhere.
Dear Najib, you have been examination you. Don't think you can get away with something like this undetected. We know which a RM1.6 billion is starting to pull approach past RM2 billion prior to a stipulate is over. And which is our income you have been personification around with. And if you insist upon proceeding with this transgression be ready to container your bags as well as move out of Putrajaya come a subsequent ubiquitous election.
Hmm...I wonder what Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is starting to contend about this. After all, Najib is his boy, is he not?
