Mindef report: EPU did not terminate contract of Brigade Complex contractor, despite advice
PETALING JAYA: The Economic Planning Unit was taken to task for disregarding the Defence Ministry's repeated request over the years to terminate the contract of a "slow coach" contractor Now, 21 years later, the project on a sprawling 219ha plot was left abandoned, and the army was "squatting" on two plots of exchanged land where the title deeds had already been transferred These are among the findings submitted by the Governance, Procurement and Investigating Committee...
The army camps would have been relocated to the new site in Skudai 17 years ago, if the project was completed according to deadline. Noting that the project was only 18.72% completed in 2004, the committee said the contractor was also slow in delivering other projects. "The company did not have the financial capability and experience to carry out large scale projects," the committee noted.In another report released on Thursday , the committee noted that it was not necessary to swap land in return to build 60 units of army housing project worth RM10.99mil in Cameron They said the units could be build using government allocations, without having to let go of army land that could be used for other projects in the future.
