"Tell signs of a failed state".

FROM THE RM12.5 billion Port Klang Free Zone (PKFZ) scandal to the collapse of the roof of the just completed RM300mil Stadium Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin in Gong Badak, Kuala Trengganu on June 2, and now the leaking of the RM350 million Sabah Federal Administrative Complex (SFAC) are probably tell signs that the Barisan Nasional (BN) Government is fast crumbling down.Picture(left) showing workers trying to identify the problem.

I just wonder how the Government are going to explain to the people on these issues which all involved the taxpayers’ money to build, especially when the sum involved were enormous.

This was not taking into account of the leaks in the Parliament building in 2007, just two years after it underwent a RM90 million massive one-year interior restoration and renovation, besides the infamous “MRR2” (Middle Ring Road 2) cracks scandal in Kepong last year, only after less than two years of an exorbitant RM70 million repair of the RM238 million project.

As in the case of the SFAC (better known as Sabah Federal Building), like the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium, it was also found to be without the Occupational Certificate (OC) despite having completed in 2007. It was also shocking to learn that a large portion of the tiles of the exterior walls of the building too started peeling off barely three months after its completion.

A vast section of the tiles on the exterior walls (pic) of the building were peeling off and exposed the plywood used as the base of the walls (pic). What's the total cost incurred for the repair works & who foot the bill? KK MP Dr Hiew King Cheu should raise the matter in the Parliament.

And the best part was, the building also housed the newly re-branded Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) now known as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). Perhaps the MACC should take the initiative to conduct a thorough investigation into the implementation of the said project since they were sharing the same building.

It would be interesting to find out the following:

1. Who is the contractor for the project and how it was awarded?
2. Who is the Consulting Engineer for the project and how come the tenants were allowed to move in without first obtaining the OC?Picture showing the tiles peeled off at the lobby of the SFAC.

Until and unless the Government could provide us with a satisfactory explanation on all these issues, the future of BN is probably as bleak as the latest political catchphrase of “1Black Malaysia”

In the meantime,Chief Minister of Sabah Datuk Musa Aman (pic) should come out and explain to the people of Sabah on his "mysterious disappearance" whether he was on leave or simply PONTENG from work i.e went AWOL(absence without leave)

As the CEO of the state's civil service,what good example is he portraying?If indeed he had gone to Singapore for treatment,as what we reliably learnt,then he should explain why it was done in such a mysterious manner.Is the ailment so serious and complicated that he had to go out of the country for treatment or,simply because he has no confidence in our nation's own medical facilities and doctors?

And why must he take a private jet instead of a commercial airline?Was it due to an emergency case?If yes,what kind of ailment and how serious is it?

A local Chinese daily newspaper reported that Minister of Tourism,Datuk Masidi Manjun (pic) said that the Chief Minister went to Singapore for a "cough treatment".Hello..does Masidi actually believe that Sabahans are that stupid?That being the case,he has just implied that the doctors in Sabah are not qualified to treat patients with coughs.Are the doctors at Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore,where Musa was admitted more qualified in the treatment of coughs?

The people of Sabah have every right to demand an explanation,Musa's continued silence in this matter may be tantamount to other "reasons" as to his disappearance.
