GEORGE TOWN: Under the state government’s open tender system, Penang Class F bumiputra contractors have secured 100% of the projects carried out by the state Public Works (PWD) and the Drainage and Irrigation (DID) departments.Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the statistics provided by both departments showed that the state government did not discriminate based on race or religion but awarded the projects to capable contractors.
“The projects were awarded based on the contractors’ abilities and not any political cable-pulling. A total of 134 contractors in this category were awarded more than RM9mil worth of projects by the DID last year.
“As for the PWD, 149 bumiputra contractors secured projects worth RM8mil,” he told reporters before a closed-door meeting with several members of the Penang Class F bumiputra contractors association at his office in Komtar Friday.
Among those present were association chairman Tahir Jalaluddin Hussain and vice-chairman Zainul Abdul Malik Eusoff, Deputy Chief Minister 1 Mansor Othman and state executive councillor Abdul Malik Abul Kassim.
Tahir said the meeting was strictly based on business and had nothing to do with any political views, adding that he would discuss with Lim the problems faced by their members.

Ok class F projects worth Rm9M dy DID& Rm8M by PWD given to Bumis. Care to tell us how many more mega millions projects awarded by State Govt and other state authorities & awarded to who?
wak
JKR and JPS are federal agencies. Nothing to do with the state government. The funds are from the fed. govt. as well. So what's the big deal! The state also has no say on how the projects are awarded to the contractors.
What about the projects undertaken by the municipal councils, DO Offices, PBAPP and PDC? What's the total amount?
Fine...give all to UMNO bumiputra...will they still be happy. Men are never happy with what they have.
anon 10.27,
u loser n bloody racist.get yrself a chill pill and get back to reality.
80% kontraktor F adalah UMNO orang. Apa isu nya di sini? State pun ada peruntukan dan ia disalur dan diawasi oleh JKR. Federal juga ada peruntukan ia juga disalur melalui agensi kerajaan.
Mungkin yang tak puas hati d isni ialah mereka yang biasa dapat 20 projek sekali gus kini terpaksa dapat dua. Sekarang lebih tramai kontraktor yang dulu hanya ambil 10 persen kerana lesen dipegang oleh ahli politik UMNO kini boleh buat sendiri dan untung lebih banyak.
Projek yang besar pasti tender terbuka. JIka kelas A mahu dapat kerja borong atau kerja bagi tak gunalah jadi kelas A atau dalam kata laib tak guna jadi bumiputera. Fikirlah cara waras.

Dunia kaum lge ni termashyur dgn "double lives". Apa yang terlihat tidak semestinya yang berlandaskan kebenaran - hanya persepsi saja.
Jangan sampai Tipah tertipu lagi ... la lala lala
Dear Tunku,
From now on everything we do must be for Oneness. One Malaysia, One Language, One Country and One Contract.In the 50s and 60s we had only one chance. There was no automatic promotion and if you failed the first time you were retained. And I think that that is how the NEP should be implemented from now on.
We cannot allow people to hold back development. You see, the population is expending at a rapid pace while the percapita GDP is growing at a much slower pace. In the long term if our GDP cannot be doubled evey 15 years we are going to face difficulties to say the least.
Level heads must prevail. As I mentioned in one of my comments, the NEP may not be able to build a strong economy. But I am certain that a strong econmy will be able to sustain the NEP.A shrewed government will implement policies that will strengthen the economy and then decide what to do with the mony. Ramlax
