Samy: Rain cause Parliament Leaks

Heavy rainfall has contributed to the leakage from the roof of Parliament House but some critics don't want to accept it, Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said.

He said the critics, who sit in the office, don't realise that the rain pattern has changed throughout the world.

"Even in England and United States, there has been floods after a heavy downpour," he told reporters.

Samy Vellu said the government has approved RM12 million to undertake a review of the Parliament House, constructed 50 years ago, and propose the necessary repairs.

"Of the RM12 mil, RM4 mil would be used for the review while the remaining RM8 mil would be used for immediate repairs," he said.

"There has also been no proper maintenance of the water outlets as there were plants as well as rubbish clogging them, causing the water to flow out elsewhere," Samy said.


I really love Samy. He always talks sense...common sense which is so uncommon and often becomes non... sense.

$12mil budget allocation; $4mil paid to consultant to prepare a report which tells him why the roof leaks and how to repair. If you get a contractor and asked him to submit a proposal for the repair works which includes a warranty and guarantee against any defects, any contractor would be extremely pleased to forward a proposal free of charge. The cost for repair would still remain as $8mil inclusive of the proposal and warranty and guarantee. So, who makes the $4m???

Leakage caused by rain? Surely; what else who have caused a roof leak?

Samy said Parliament house was not being maintained and there were plants and garbages in the roof. But there is a maintenance team comprising of a JKR engineer and technicians, and include a maintenance service contractor who was awarded a 5-year Service Level Agreement, renewable??? Can JKR explain this!!!!!!

can someone tell samy that floods and leaks are different? the area around my house may be flooded but my house still doesn't leak. maybe my house has a better roof than the Parliament? lucky for me, jkr didn't build my house and my contractor was not approved by samy!

does he even know what he's talking? still trying to cover his inefficiencies?

Responsibility and accountability are not words in Semi-Value's vocabulary.

From the free dictionary :

A parliamentarian - an expert in parliamentary rules and procedures.

And an expert - a person with special knowledge or ability who performs skillfully.

Here.. none can be found but instead a bunch of elected jokers with no knowledge or ability to perform anything at all.

this snake oil seller is great and has honed his skills to perfection. as the saying goes, in danger lies opportunities. shit, let parliamnet leaked more often. each time, RM4.0 million will be spent to find out the cause of the leak. this is big time leakage, you know what I mean. and by the way, whos the beneficiary?
