Why was a sum of RM150m approved for a bridge project with an estimated cost of RM100m to RM110m?



By Chong Chieng Jen

In the press statement issued by the Work’s Ministry on 11-2-2015, it claims that the ministry’s Value Management Lab had in June, 2011, estimated that the cost for building the Batang Samarahan bridge is between RM100 – 110 million.

Taking the statement as it is, it reveals some serious mal-practices at the highest level of the Works Ministry and/or the Finance Ministry, which smacks of corruption.
