The Spanking New Court Complex at Jalan
Duta where Justice is seen to be done.

A hole in the ceiling of Court 6 gents wash
Room, It is directly over the urinals.
PM wondering if the hole is Sam’s innovative
fire-escape. Minister of Defence prefers it for
covert filming of anti-government elements.
Aesthetics OK. Still negotiating for best
commission before purchase of hand
detergents. So wait, ok?
Corridor outside Court 6. No ashtrays but
evidence of disciplined smokers; stubs
congregate religiously.
Only court employees can part inside the
court complex. They sure have a loose
interpretation of considerate parking.
Three weeks ago, operations at the Immigration Department at Putra Jaya came to a stand-still when a pipe burst.
Ending last week, at the Entrepreneurial Development and Cooperative Ministry, a ceiling collapsed in a multi-purpose hallcausing a water pipe to drop and burst, creating another havoc.
Yesterday, a ceiling at the Jalan Duta Court Complex came crashing down.
It was reported that the Prime Minister said: "I feel angry. I feel ashamed. What the hell is this? Its so new and such a thing happened. Something must have gone wrong somewhere. We need to know. I can't be jumping all over the place."
Pak Lah orders immediate inspection of govrnment buildings. Meanwhile The Works Minister will have to go scape-goat hunting.
But like all things over in this land, a cool wind will blow over and we will live happily ever after. No?
Like always, we adopt the "wait and see-lah" attitude. Something happens, then they look into it.
ReplyDeleteMaybe all that slapdash work is due to this:
Baa baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
No sir, but got contracts
three bags full
One for Ali Baba
One for your papa
And one for you
to give to your saudara
Guys,
ReplyDeleteThere are many more building around the country in pathetic state due to lack of maintenance. It all depends on:
1) Are there maintenance budget for each building?
2) Are they sufficient to do a good job?
3) Are they tendered and awarded to professional maintenance contractor ? (I hope I am not inviting a debate here as to what constitute a professional maintenance contractor.)
4) Are there sufficient supervision of these contractors?
5) Are payment being disbursed based on actual work done? Based on KPIs agreed upon?
The problem with Malaysians is we clamour after having first class buildings and first class infra. Simple thing like public toilets are still in a sorry state not to mention leaking this, cracking that. Some politicians just want to score big time in pushing for mega contracts and leave the maintenance or maintainability issues as secondary if not non existent. We are suffering from this attitude as well as deficiencies in 1) to 5) mentioned above.
what maintenance? brand new places falling apart I can't imagine 5-10yrs on. If its junk in the 1st place no amount of maintenance can stop it from crashing down! its a sign from GOD and more slip-short handed work will be exposed ... its good to know there's a GOD!
ReplyDeletefirst samy blames the wrong usage of pipes and then that screws were not as tight as it should be. now, improper attachment.
ReplyDeletecommon, mr samy whats next if the urinal bowl is not working? pipe diameters not large enough? or EPU is at fault as they decide on the contractors?
by the way, mr samy appreciate if you could do me a small favour by giving me a contract and then cancel it and then award me the same quantum of damages as the crooked bridge comtract. And i promise to employ a team of professionals to inspect all the new buildings in Putrajaya and Jalan Duta as well as provide maintenance for free for the next 3 years. how about this proposal? no, because i am not well connected enough?
Mr PM,
ReplyDeleteOnce again, you are asking the wrong questions, addressing the symptoms and not the cause.
First rule of responsible leadership..."whatever happens down the line you take responsiblity and not pass the buck"...and going by that rule Samy resignlah,head of EPU resign,sack the contractor..awwwh shit man... the whole cabinet resign lah...!!save a lot of finger pointing.... opps I forgot ..you CAN point your finger skyward..heh..heh...ACT of GOD !!!
ReplyDeleteShang, I did not say it but was hoping somebody would say it....poor God, blamed eternally for human follies. You think, one day he will send a bolt of lightning down Samy's way? Even God can loose patience,yah?
ReplyDeletehi Shanghaisepthen...At Rocky's site..you F.. me for nothing..but here I must agree with you wholeheartedly.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Wesak Day and be good hearted.
Aahhh! AAB's busy looking up when it's time for him look out for 'sinkholes'.
ReplyDeleteNow what would be the chances of a whole building having that sinking feeling.
On a another note, you're supposed to rise and bow your head when the judge/magistrate enters the courtroom. Will there now be changes to court etiquette allowing people to look up instead, especially when court officials are wearing crash helmets?
That hole in the ceiling is actually commissioned by court officials. Its for stashing evidence like a few kilos of ganja here and a few thousand shabu pills there. This is so that there will be no evidence and cases can be dealt with fast and court officials can get rich fast too.
ReplyDeleteIts part of dealing with backlog cases.
KTN...yes novel way of hiding evidence and lucrative too. You are giving ideas, brother.
ReplyDeleteShar, looks like they have to revise protocol to combat emergencies.
wow... more maintenance contracts for grabs now! quick setup alibaba company!
