Deputy Education MinisterDatuk Dr Puad Zakarshi said if the practice was not abolished, the same issue would persist andcontinuously be highlighted by the Auditor-General. Instead, he said, contracts should be awardedvia an open tender process to get the best deal from contractors and save public funds.He had been asked about the A-G report which highlighted a landscaping work costing RM60,000or between 470% and 880% more than the market price in SK Bukit Jawa , Pasir Puteh, Kelantan. DrPuad said the cost was justified because the package included the cost of seeds, tree planting andmaintainence. “The issue does not arise as we have received a report relating to the matter from thestate education department director and the consultant,” he added.“This is my personal suggestion but I hope the Treasury will consider doing away with the practice(of direct submissions) as soon as possible,” he told reporters after launching a new animationprogramme called “Boo & Me” here yesterday.Dr Puad said office equipment and paraphernalia bought through quotations submission wasrelatively more expensive than those purchased in bulk directly from shops which even offer them atdiscounted prices.19 October 2009 (Monday)Projek Pembinaan Hospital Pekan, Pahang - Kementerian Kesihatan MalaysiaAuditor General Slams Pekan Hospital ProjectKUALA LUMPUR (Oct 19, 2009) : Several government projects were slammed byAuditor-General (A-G) Tan Sri Ambrin Buang in the 2008 A-G’s Report releasedto MPs.

The delayin project completion resulted in an increase in cost, construction works which are unsuitable or noquality and equipment and facilities not fully optimised,” he said.To rectify these weaknesses, he recommended that the Health Ministry and Public Works Department(PWD) consider speeding up the signing of contract for the purpose of enforcement on conditionsand contract specifications. “The PWD should not issue the CPC until work has been completed andequipment adequately supplied.
