Terengganu Masjid Kristal & Stadium Project Scandal

Penyelewengan Idris sampai ke pengetahuan Tuanku Mizan
SinarSeharian

Maklumat sulit mengenai penyelewengan Dato Idris Jusoh dikatakan telah sampai ke pengetahuan Duli Yang Maha Mulia Tuanku Sultan Terengganu, Tengku Mizan Zainal Abidin.

Beberapa pihak yang tidak berpuas hati dan tidak tahan dengan tindak tanduk Dato Idris yang begitu tamak mengaut keuntungan dari peruntukan wang ehsan yang berbilion ringgit itu kepada Duli Tuanku Sultan. Aduan yang sama katanya telah dihantar ke Biro Pencegah Rasuah (BPR).

Merurut sumber Istana, aduan tersebut dipersembahkan kepada Duli Tuanku Sultan kerana mereka percaya bahawa Tuanku Sultan memahami hakikat ini dan akan bertindak tegas menolak percalonan Dato Idris sabagai Menteri Besar sekiranya Barisan Nasional memenangi pilihanraya umum yang akan datang.

Antara penyelewengan terbaru yang dilaporkan termasuklah tuntutan VO (Variation Order) Masjid Kristal yang asalnya RM80 juta menjadi RM200 juta lebih. Juga turut didakwa adalah tuntutan VO stadium dari RM180 juta menjadi hampir RM300 juta.

Semua wang tuntutan ini difahamkan telah diluluskan kepada Kontraktor berkenaan yang kemudiannya dipulangkan kembali ke akuan peribadi pihak tertentu yang menjadi proksi dan kroni. Alasan diberikan kepada kontraktor kononnya wang tersebut untuk “Political Fund” tetapi semua wang yang diambil terang-terang itu dibolot untuk diri sendiri.

Dimaklumkan juga bahawa Kontraktor-kontraktor yang berkenaan berbuat demikian dalam keadaan berbuat demikian dalam keadaan dipaksa. Walau merekalah nantinya yang akan menangung akibat buruk, dan mereka sekarang diburu ketakutan memandangkan kes tersebut sudah sampai ke meja BPR, Dato Idris mungkin boleh terlepas, tetapi mereka akan menghadapi masaalah besar. Nama tercemar dan bisnes pun akan terganggu. Tetapi mereka tidak ada pilihan kerana tuntutan VO itu bukan kehendak mereka tetapi dipaksakan ke atas mereka dan dengan mudah diluluskan. Peruntukannya di ambil dari Tabung Ehsan.

Diperinkat awal mereka mungkin bergembira kerana dapat duit percuma, tetapi melihatkan jumlah yang diambil oleh krone dan proksi jauh lebih banyak dari keuntungan mereka dan merasakan dari mereka ditipu, kini knotraktor berkenaan sudah mula marah. Mereka juga meluat dengan sikap tidak malu dan tamak Dato Idris.

Maklumat dari sumber yang rapat dengan BPR juga menunjukkan kes tersebut telah dibuka dan dijangka akan dimulakan siasatan selepas pilihanraya umum nanti.

If the PM wants to quickly redeem himself, this is one opportunity.

Anybody can write cock and bull stories like that but it needs a little something up there to believe. The figure I got from JKR Team supervising the Project is; The Project Cost for Main Stadium Complex alone is Rm191,181,240.80. Rm80Mil for Ultra Modern Main Stadium and Indoor Stadium including all infra facilities? Ini Zaman Jepun ke?

Gukita said...

Sorry Mave, got mixed up the figure there with Masjid Kristal. But gist of it still the same.

Idris said he did not know what his mistakes were.

He still think we Rakyat are Ah Bengs ah?

NIAMAH forever arrogant!

For those who think that VO is like opening a kitchen kabinet better think again. There's very strict procedures in the process. For Federal Contracts exceeding Rm20 Million, LIMIT for VO is Rm6Million only at Head of Technical Department. Beyond that it must be at the level of Ketua Setiausaha Perbendaharaan. No MB has that key to Treasury.

seefei said...

lubang besar berjumlah ratusan million, demi demikian, MB pun boleh berlepas. Kesian kontraktor yang terkepit ditengah2.

harap PM akan menjalankan siasitan dan hukum semua pihak yang berkaitan. PM mesti jadikan kes ini sebagai contoh and ingatan!

Dengan bantuan Agong, harap PM dapat penuhkan janjian PRU11 (2004) yang menyatakan pembinasan rasuah! Biar lambat tapi selamat!

I notice some commenter just jump the gun before read the article throughly. Especially those jump up and down on the VO Stadium than the 80mils become 200 mils crystal palace.

For both structure, I say WTF.

Crystal palace. 80mils to 200mils - 2.5 times over budget. This is insane. And it can spend a lots for Trengganu intellectuals.

And the VO Stadium? I say, WTF.
180 millions bloated to 300 mils? yet another over budget. In addition, what is the reason to have a VO stadium in Trengganu? For the sick of "If you build it, they will come"? For the sick of "development"?

This is not scientific feasibilities study release from Trengganu state government. How many events are Trengganu state going to held in the station? And how much is the annual maintenance cost? Even with 1% maintenance cost, Trengganu must budget 3 millions for this stadium.

200 millions + 300 millions, that is 0.5 billions. OMG!

How much does the National Aquatic Center in Beijing cost?

After Google it :
"a cost of 100 million U.S. dollars, the construction on the Water Cube began in 2003 and the venue hosted its first test event in February of 2008"

And the WTF and WTH VO stadium cost RM300 millions.

Is it because China can make it cheap or Malaysia are always overpriced?

Bayi,

How is it an opportunity if his SIL is the principal?

Gukita,

Could you provide me the original contract sum and the amount of VO for both the projects?

And if those money come from Wang Ehsan, would they still need the formal procedures as stipulated for PWD projects?

See Fei,

Mana boleh? Mana PM boleh siasat sendiri atau anak?

Gukita said...

Mave,
I'll try get you the cost. Procedures for Wang Ehsan still the same except State have some say in the committee. It is still Committee decision chaired by stipulated person.

Dollah may scrap wang Ehsan and replace it with Wang Hadhari, given only to those assemblymen who support him

"Tetapi mereka tidak ada pilihan kerana tuntutan VO itu bukan kehendak mereka tetapi dipaksakan ke atas mereka dan dengan mudah diluluskan. Peruntukannya di ambil dari Tabung Ehsan."

what a BS, they are the curroption ridden umno class A contractors to begin with.

Kalau lah Sultan tak perasan Rm50 hilang dari walet dia, mungkin boleh percaya,
More than 80Million?
1. Patut pecat penasihat sultan atau mereka yang monitor state activities.
2. Siapa yang bagi that info kepada Sultan? Takkan BN kot? takkan kontraktor tu sendiri, nak masuk jel ke mereka ni?
3. Mengapa terengganu paling susah bentuk kerajaan dalam semua negeri? Apa ade kat terengganu yang tak ade kat negeri lain (hint:Minyak).

Maverick SM said...

Gukita,

Thank you, Abang!

Famil,

If you had been a contractor, you may understand their plight. Contractors need profit but they also are under duress at times.

Gukita said...

For those not in construction industry (the author is but choose not to highlight the issue); The main parameter influencing cost is the SIZE / CAPACITY. Main stadium is to house a football field, aquatic to house swimming pool. I dont have to explain the difference in size. 100 Million US DOLLAR for a single indoor stadium is cheaper? The Terengganu Indoor stadium cost slightly more than RM100 million MALAYSIAN RINGGIT.

Another factor is Construction Time. Short construction time involve CRASHING OF ACTIVITIES, OVERTIME (hence higher cost less productivity - Maverick can explain how that happen; he's an expert in Project Planning). Hope that throw some light. Whatever you all want to think is yours, but have the facts right; there's just too much Hantu Stories around these modern days..

DAULAT TUANKU!!!

Remove Ibelis Yusohh CHOON-TOI and feed the Gagaks in Terengganu City Hall.

Brilliant Idea.

CHOON-TOI soup, new Kuala Terengganu delicacy!!!!

Maverick SM said...

Gukita,

Many do not understand construction project management and the problem with VO and changes to design. But the news and the letter to Tuanku did not explain and at such the general public were not well informed.

However, one issue is serious: the contractor claimed that they were paid VO and had to give back a large sum of VO money from their progress payment to "someone up there" for "Political Funds". That accusation must be investigated.

Ling Ling Chatt,

You are looking for chicken soup?
