KLIA 2: Delay and More Delays?

Posted: 30 Dec 2011 10:33 PM PST

When will KLIA2 - the new "low-cost terminal" actually get completed?

1. September 2011

Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri, who also attended the press conference, said the tender for the construction of the new LCCT will be called as soon as the design is completed. The new LCCT is expected to be completed by September 2011. The terminal, estimated to cost RM2 billion, will be built about 2km away from KLIA. ~ 30/10/2009 Business Times

The building of a new Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) will be completed by the end of 2011 although its construction faced some delay, said Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri. "The project's progress should be 15.5 per cent but right now it is 13.5 per cent. Based on the current status the delay is two per cent or 18 days," he said.

~ 17/11/2009 Bernama

2. Early 2012

The new low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) is expected to be ready by late 2011 or early 2012, said Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd's (MAHB) managing director, Tan Sri Bashir Ahmad. Earlier, it was expected to be ready by September 2011. ~ 1/9/2010 Bernama

3. April 2012

Kumpulan UEM Bhd. dan Bina Puri Holdings Bhd , yang bertindak sebagai kontraktor utama bagi terminal baru itu memberi jaminan projek itu akan disiapkan tepat pada masanya … ''Kami berupaya menepati tempoh pembinaan yang ditetapkan dan penyerahan KLIA2 akan dibuat pada akhir tempoh 20 bulan (April 2012) seperti yang ditetapkan kerana kami memiliki sumber, kepakaran dan pengalaman,'' janji Pengarah Urusan Kumpulan UEM, Datuk Izzaddin Idris. ~ 1/9/2010 Utusan Malaysia

4. October 2012

Semua syarikat penerbangan tambang murah akan berpindah ke terminal penerbangan tambang murah tetap baru, KLIA2, yang dijadualkan siap pada bulan Oktober 2012, kata Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha. ~ 25/1/2011 Kosmo

5. April 2013

SEPANG: The new low-cost carrier terminal, expected to be operational by April 2013, will cost Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) between RM3.6 billion and RM3.9 billion, and it will come with aerobridges. ~30/11/2011 Business Times

Will that be the last and final delay?

KLIA 2: Low Cost or High Cost Airport?

Posted: 30 Dec 2011 07:42 PM PST

This is the design of the new KLIA2 "Low-Cost Terminal"

This is the "luxurious" interior of the new KLIA2 "low-cost terminal"

And another view of the "luxurious" interior of KLIA2 "low-cost terminal"

And here's the history of KLIA2 cost overrun from RM1.7 billion to RM3.9 billion:

1. 2007 – RM1.7 billion

22/7/ 2007 Terminal baru syarikat penerbangan tambang murah (LCCT) serba canggih dan selesa bernilai RM1.7 bilion akan dibina di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa KL (KLIA) bagi menggantikan LCCT sedia ada yang semakin sesak. (Berita Harian)

2. 2009 - RM2.0 billion

10/3/2009 – Ong said the new LCCT would be ready by 2011 and the total cost was estimated at RM2.0 billion. (The Star)

3. 2010 - RM2.5 billion

30/10/2010 – Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB)… its board of directors had mandated a sum of RM2.5 billion for the overall construction cost of KLIA 2. (Business Times)

4. 2011 - RM3.9 billion

29/11/2011 – The new low-cost terminal (LCCT), KLIA2, with world class facilities to handle about 45 million passengers yearly, is expected to cost between RM3.6 billion and RM3.9 billion… (Bernama)

Existing LCCT

For comparison purposes, the cost of existing LCCT is RM108 million plus a subsequent upgrade costing RM124 million for the total cost of RM232 million.  The existing LCCT doesn't have to add the cost of new aprons (where planes taxi and park) and runways, but the sheer gulf in cost difference tells you how MAHB has been spending its money.  As a result of the new KLIA2, MAHB had to raise RM2.5 billion in sukuk loans in 2010.

We Will Meet Zahid

Posted: 30 Dec 2011 07:25 PM PST

The Defence Minister, Dato' Seri Zahid Hamidi has said yesterday that he was willing to meet up with me to explain and clarify the purchase of the six second generation patrol vessels or "littoral combatant ships (frigate class)" (LCS). The issue surfaced again since the price tag for the war ships has increased from RM6 billion announced on 5 February this year, but has since increased 50% to RM9 billion this month.

Boustead Holdings Bhd has announced on Bursa Malaysia that its subsidiary Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd has received the "letter of award to undertake the construction of the ships" from Ministry of Defence Malaysia "to design, construct, equip, install, commission, integrate, test and trials, and deliver six LCS" for the new ceiling price of RM 9.0 billion

We have asked for the Defence Minister to explain the drastic increase, especially since even the initial RM6 billion price tag had already attracted controversy and required Dato' Seri Zahid to provide an explanation in parliament.

In defending the RM6 billion deal in parliament, the Minister had claimed that these patrol vessels were no ordinary ships but were advanced warships known as "littoral combatant ships" (LCS).

Datuk Seri Zahid had in March claimed that the LCS is "bigger and faster" and "it is also equipped with three-dimensional warfare equipment like cannons, missiles and torpedoes" which are able to take on jets, ships and submarines respectively.

He argued that "with the rapid development of technology, the RMN would need an LCS with state-of-the-art equipment like the sonar system for submarine detection and anti-submarine torpedoes, which would help in the operation of the two RMN submarines to safeguard the sovereignty of national maritime areas."

Since the RM6 billion price tag has already come with all the above "advanced" technologies to fight jets, ships and submarines, what else has the Ministry of Defence ordered to justify the additional allocation of RM3 billion? The price-tag of RM1.5 billion will certainly make our patrol vessels among the most expensive in the world.

Instead of providing in open explanation, Dato' Seri Zahid had mocked me yesterday asking "Where does he get his figures? From Kua Kia Soong, the former DAP MP?" If he has bothered reading my statements, I've stated clearly that the figures came from the announcements made by Boustead as well as "authoritative" answers made by himself in the Parliament. The Minister will perhaps do well to stop relying on Papagomo as his chief intelligence advisor, who has to date provided the former with only half-truths and fictitious data.

Pakatan Rakyat MPs, including Nurul Izzah Anwar and Dr Dzulkefli Ahmad are more than willing to take up the offer from the Minister to seek his clarification. However, he should not only provide clarifications for the above purchase involving RM9 billion but also the other mega-acquisition of 257 armoured personnel vehicles (APVs) costing RM7.55 billion this year. In his parliamentary reply to me on the APVs, he had claimed "no knowledge" over the details of the cost.

The Minister must also answer, given his assurance that his Ministry is "open to transparency", why the Government is unwilling to set up a Parliament Oversight Committee to review and monitor defence expenditure. If the Ministry is not even willing to subject himself to oversight by the Parliament, the country's highest legislative body, then Dato Seri Zahid Hamidi has no right to talk about "transparency".

Peaceful Assembly Bill 2011 Walk Out

Posted: 19 Dec 2011 07:14 PM PST

The "Walk-Out" - was it right or was it wrong?

I've received plenty of emails, tweets and questions during meetings asking about the Pakatan Rakyat "walk-out" during the passing of the Peaceful Assemblly Bill 2011 debate in parliament earlier in December.

Without going into the merits of the walkout, perhaps its better for me to explain what happened that day and the parliamentary process. This will at the very least clarify some of the misinformation doing its rounds and give you a clearer picture of what actually happened.

1. Pakatan Rakyat was given only 3 speakers to speak. Hence only 1 rep from each party. The top leaders spoke - about 20 min each - Anwar, Kit Siang and Hadi. So we all spoke and all the points the civil society and the Bar Council raised were all raised in parliament. You can check the speeches in the Hansard which can be downloaded from the www.parlimen.gov.my website. No more speakers were allowed and the Speaker dictates the order in parliament.

2. There is no room for amendments at all. Full stop. BN had no intent on incorporating any of the proposals by Pakatan or others into the Act. For everyone's information, it has never happened in the history of Malaysian parliament where any single amendment proposals or motions by the opposition were adopted. The parliament will and can pass any law tabled by the BN govt with sheer brute majority. The only exception is that the constitution can only be amended with 2/3 majority which we have denied. For the 1st time in recent history, there were no constitutional amendments proposed during the current term.

Hence aside from the above, the Parliament is a "rubber stamp" due to BN majority and the exercise of the Whip who controls all their MPs votes.

3. Hence the only difference was the "voting" being carried out in our presence or absence. The outcome is already a forgone conclusion. It makes absolutely no practical purpose to stay and vote because the BN MPs are out in force to ensure the bill's passage.

Finally, again without judging whether we should have walked out or not - we walked out only after we have exhausted all practical channels to reject or amend the bill, and after it was made absolutely clear from BN's side that they have no intent to make any changes to the bill. We walked out to protest the "tyranny of majority" by BN in parliament and their refusal to accede to the voice of the people, especially to set up a parliamentary select committee on PAB. It made a mockery of the parliamentary institution which we were not willing to take part in.

Hope the above makes it clearer on the situation.

But as I've mentioned many times during Q&A sessions during townhalls and forums, the public backlash as a result of the walkout, whether justified or otherwise will certainly make Pakatan MPs think twice about such moves in the future. This is because perception of the walkout, regardless of whether it is misinformed or actual, is what matters most at the very end of the day.

Purchase of 6 Naval Vessels up from RM6 billion to RM9 billion

Posted: 18 Dec 2011 07:26 PM PST

On February 5th this year, Defence Minister Dato' Seri Zahid Hamidi announced that the Government has approved RM6 billion for the Royal Malaysian Navy to acquire 6 second generation patrol vessels to be built by Boustead Naval Shipyards.

In defending the RM6 billion deal in parliament, the Minister had claimed that these patrol vessels were no ordinary ships but were advanced warships known as "littoral combatant ships" (LCS).

Datuk Seri Zahid had in March claimed that the LCS is "bigger and faster" and "it is also equipped with three-dimensional warfare equipment like cannons, missiles and torpedoes" which are able to take on jets, ships and submarines respectively.

He argued that "with the rapid development of technology, the RMN would need an LCS with state-of-the-art equipment like the sonar system for submarine detection and anti-submarine torpedoes, which would help in the operation of the two RMN submarines to safeguard the sovereignty of national maritime areas."

The LCS is indeed a technologically advanced patrol vessel currently only acquired and deployed by the United States (US) in the world. The US owns 2 of these ships - USS Independence and USS Freedom while Malaysia is seeking to acquire 6 of these LCS.

While the price of the ships was not "final" in February, it has come as a shock when Boustead announced on Bursa Malaysia that the contract which was just signed last week is now valued at RM9 billion or 50% higher that what was approved earlier this year by the Government.

The Minister must explain why has the price for each ship increased by RM500 million or RM3 billion in total for the 6 ships suddenly, well above the original approved budget. For example, has the specification for the ships been "improved" further since Dato' Seri Zahid's reply in Parliament - which was then already the most technologically advanced patrol vessel - which justified the whopping increase in price?

Boustead Naval Shipyard, previously known as PSC Naval Dockyards which delivered the previous 6 naval patrol vessels at RM6.75 billion or 26.2% above the original contract price of RM5.35 billion. The ships were also delivered only after a 2 year delay and hundreds of defects.

In the 2006 Auditor-General Report, the Ministry of Defence was faulted for the dubious award of contract to an obviously unqualified contractor, the failure of technical and financial management, hefty illegitimate contract price increases, undocumented and overpayment, unjustifiable waiver of penalties, and a complete failure of ministry oversight. The Defence Ministry was then headed by Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Such a track record does not give Malaysians any amount of confidence that history will not repeat itself. With such a rapid increase in budget by RM3 billion before even the start of construction of these ships, can the current Defence Minister assure Malaysians that these ships will not suffer the same disgraceful fate as the earlier ships?

As Defence expenditure in Malaysia remains highly opaque, with Malaysia ranked "medium to low" in transparency by Transparency International, we continue to call for a Parliamentary Oversight Committee to review and approve defence expenditure as practiced in all developed countries. The expenditure involved billions of ringgit in acquisitions annually, hence the sheer lack of transparency leads only to poor accountability, and more often than not, massive leakages and over-spending. These leakages must be plugged to ensure that the country doesn't become bankrupt by 2019 as speculated by Minister in Prime Minister's Department, Datuk Idris Jala.

Why Was KLIA2 Moved to A More Expensive Site?

Posted: 14 Dec 2011 07:44 PM PST

Why was KLIA2 moved to a soft soil site?
Aidila Razak
11:41AM Dec 14, 2011

Why was a new masterplan drawn up in 2008 for the expansion of the low-cost carrier airport (KLIA2), resulting in the airport being built on soft soil, when an earlier plan circumvented this problem?

This question lies at the heart of the current outcry over the ballooning cost of the airport from an estimated RM1.7 billion to up to RM3.6 billion today.

Referring to the KL International Airport Masterplan 1992, Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua (left) said today the move also remained the main cause of the construction deadline for KLIA2 to be extended from September 2011 to April 2013.

"The transport minister and Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd must answer why they made a hard-to-fathom move to the new site. This is the reason the cost went up by more than RM2 billion," Pua said.

According to the 1992 plan, the current construction site of KLIA2 "mainly comprises saturated marine clay with an overlay of peat material, which varies in thickness from two to three metres".

"It has poor load bearing qualities and is not suitable for airport construction without undertaking significant engineering measures... which include improved drainage, removal of the peat layer and the introduction of fill material with good load bearing qualities (a minimum of three metres deep)," Pua said, quoting from the report.

The earthworks required to make the site suitable, he said, cost an estimated RM1.2 billion. This could have been saved if the 1992 masterplan, drawn up by Anglo-Japanese Airport Corporation Bhd, had been followed and the KLIA2 had been built on the original hard land area marked out.

The area marked out in the 1992 plan is a hilly area, which had already been prepared during the construction of the main terminal (KLIA) at the time.

Double watch towers and extra runway

The 2008 plan, drawn up by Netherlands Airport Consultants BV and KLIA Consultancy Services, led to further consequences on costs:

A third runway, estimated to cost RM270 million, has to be constructed as the new site would not allow KLIA and KLIA2 to share two runways. However, the third runway will also need to be built on soft soil, raising questions as to when it will be ready.
"Airlines would not want to move to KLIA2 if they have to taxi longer in order to use KLIA's runways," Pua said.

A second control tower, estimated to cost RM500 million, needs to be constructed as KLIA's tower would not be able to see some parts of the third runway. The 1992 plan had both terminals sharing the same tower.
"This would make it the first modern airport, built after the 1960s, with two control towers within two kilometres of each other," Pua said.

While conceding that he was not an expert in the field, Pua said an engineering expert who was consulted had said the deadline of April 2013 was "iffy" at best, mainly due to the poor soil.

In comparison, he said, the current low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) had cost RM232 million and had taken about 15 months to construct, including upgrades.

"Of course it's not fair as (KLIA2) would have a third runway, etc, but it gives a comparison of contrast in cost from the new airport and the current terminal. The current one was built in budget fashion, the new one is as good as a premium terminal.

"We are not disputing the need to move to a bigger terminal as the LCCT is close to capacity. Nor do we mind shifting the location, but not at such a ballooning cost," Pua said.

LCCT currently caters to 15.4 million passengers, 400,000 more than its capacity.

九路猴枣芭居民享优购权 中央花园中廉屋快入伙
二零一一年十二月三十一日 晚上七时五十五分

(槟城31日讯)峇都兰樟中央花园中廉价组屋入伙准证已呈交槟岛市政局审核,引颈长盼的购屋者料可在近期内获得入伙,受发展计划影响的大路后九路居民获购屋优先权,也实现居者有其屋的梦想!

槟州城乡策划,房屋及艺术行政议员黄汉伟表示,中央花园组屋已经完成分配手续,之前要求发展商修改图测也已经在这个月获得市政局批准。目前发展商已经将入伙准证呈交予槟岛市政局审核,如果一切符合规格,居民预料可在近期内获得入伙准证。

黄汉伟:逾千人申请

无论如何,当被询及居民是否有望在春节之前入伙时,他说,必须以市政局审核手续是否能如期完成为准。他说,中央花园组屋只有195个单位,但申请者却有1200名,是认购量最高的中廉价组屋。

虽然中央花园优先给予大路后九路居民,不过一些大家庭只获得献议一个单位,所以他们还要争取第二个单位,导致中央花园组屋出现供不应求现象。

他指出,槟岛还有许多中廉价屋及廉价屋单位等待申请,如五条路Sri Saujana还有超过100个单位、白云山花地园更有超过500个单位、浮罗山背有80多个廉价屋单位等待申请。另外,在峇六拜及新港一带将建500多个廉价屋单位,丹绒道光填土区也会增建中廉价屋。

他呼吁人民申请这些地点的中廉价屋或廉价屋,以获得更高机会的房屋献议。他是于周六与峇都兰樟区州议员罗兴强巡视中央花园组屋后,对记者这么表示。出席者包括霹雳路社委会主席李建伦。

举横幅感谢民联争取

大路后九路居民高举横幅,感激峇都兰樟区州议员罗兴强及民联政府为他们争取权益,才让他们有房屋居住。

罗兴强:实现有屋梦

罗兴强指出,中央花园195单位中,其中40余单位是优先给猴枣芭居民居住,然后在挪出45单位给被逼迁的大路后九路木屋居民,其余约100单位才公开予日落洞一带居民购买。

发展列车开到大路后九路时,发展商无意建造中廉价屋,只赔偿4万令吉予居民,导致居民非常失望。

居民向他及首长林冠英投诉,并在民联政府积极争取下,发展商才答应赔偿7万令吉,但是他们认为不够购买房屋,所以再次为他们争取中央花园房屋单位购屋优先权让给他们。

50单位共逾百家庭

当初大路后九路有50单位,共有100多个家庭。目前在民联州政府协助下,终于实现居者有其屋梦想。

黃漢偉派上學用品 70甘榜馬來由孩子受惠

北馬

2011-12-31 18:00

■黃漢偉為小孩背上書包,待新學年開課時,小孩可以開開心心上學去!

(檳城31日訊)阿依淡區州議員黃漢偉週六頒發第3批上學用品,70名受惠的清寒家庭孩子來自甘榜馬來由,2011年一共發出200套校服及上學用品。

粉刷組屋即將完工

他說,這是繼發林和天德園玫瑰園後,再次造福阿依淡選區的各族居民,州政府也了解為人父母必須承擔的重任,冀通過此計劃減輕父母的負擔。

他表示,東北縣擁有70個鄉委會組織,甘榜馬來由鄉委會成功擊敗其他對手,奪得最佳鄉委會榮銜。

較後,黃漢偉也巡視甘榜馬來由B座組屋重新粉刷進展,目前油漆工程已完成70%,尚需一個月時間進行,預計月杪即可完工。

他形容,油漆就像是一門藝術,必須慢慢下筆,即使要花時間也無所謂,最重要得出的效果令人滿意。唯一的小挑戰就是要在牆上稍作些圖案。

他表示,粉刷費用高達27萬5000令吉,早前州政府已經在A座更新電線及住家內的電箱,B座油漆完畢後,就會輪到A座,到時B座將進行更換電線工程。

他說,甘榜馬來由組屋區共分為A和B座,A座組屋擁有492單位,B座則有470單位。

火箭積極拉攏巫裔選票
由星洲日報大北馬于 2011年12月31日22:21 发布

行動黨議員極積向巫裔選民拉票,送書包校服或餐桌、公佈新計劃為民選打下強心劑之餘,也向選民痛斥一些國陣掌控的媒體誣賴州政府和首長林冠英。

亞依淡區州議員黃漢偉昨日早上9時到甘榜馬來由頒發新校服禮券、書包和文具給70名小學生,也巡視目前正在B座組屋進行的粉刷工程。

黃漢偉告訴巫裔選民,《馬來西亞前鋒報》常誣賴州政府和林冠英,較早前林冠英起訴該報並獲判勝利,證明以林冠英為首的州政府並沒邊緣化州內巫裔。

"林冠英親自到訪甘榜馬來由數次了,但之前的許子根(前首長),多年都不曾到訪這里。"

黃漢偉說,A座組屋已獲更換電纜,B座組屋的粉刷工程已完成70%,明年(2012年)就會輪到A座組屋進行粉刷,B座組屋更換電纜。

他希望巫裔選民別閱讀《馬來西亞前鋒報》,換讀州政府推出的《珍珠快訊》,以了解州政府的惠民政策。

★斯里德里瑪區州議員雷爾於早上11時30分到敦沙頓住宅區小販中心,正式移交新餐桌及椅子給該區小販公會,武吉牛汝莪區國會議員卡巴星也受邀,但沒有出席。

這些餐桌和椅子總值4萬零400令吉,由市議員柏蘭安南和陳翰威聯合撥出。柏蘭安南說,小販們申請了28年,民聯執政後終獲撥款。

雷爾說,一些人時常造謠指州政府邊緣化巫裔,但敦沙頓居民不會相信,只擔心其他地區的巫裔會誤信謠言。

"我們之前贈送了書包校服給340名小學生,當中250名來自敦沙頓!"

他揄揶馬來文報章受邀卻不出席新聞發佈會,不然就可以報導州政府對於馬來社群的貢獻。

★雷爾說,他計劃把當地一批小販合法化,但他們的攤格擺在中央政府的地段上(停車場),中央政府不批准轉移用途申請,於是至今未能成功。

他將於明年(2012年)在兩層樓的敦沙頓巴剎內安裝電梯,方便幼老上下及小販搬動貨物。

雷爾受詢時說,他的新年願望是民聯可在來屆大選守住檳州,攻下布城,行動黨可贏取更多議席。他不回應"軍閥與教父"風波的任何提問。

MPK Peruntuk RM194 Juta Untuk Penyelenggaraan

Posted: 30 Dec 2011 02:20 AM PST

Source: Selangorkini

 

Thursday, 29 December 2011 | Ruangan: Berita

Oleh Hafizan Taib

KLANG, 29 DISEMBER – Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK) meminta kerjasama masyarakat dalam usaha menjaga kebersihan di bandar itu supaya kehidupan masyarakat menjadi lebih baik dan sempurna.

Pemangku Yang DiPertua MPK, Ikhsan Mukri berkata, usaha sebegitu membolehkan MPK menjimatkan kos penyelenggaraan yang tinggi kerana pihaknya mendapati antara punca berlakunya masalah itu adalah kerana rakyat sering membuang segala sampah dan bahan buangan ke tempat yang tidak sewajarnya.

Katanya, MPK memperuntukkan perbelanjaan sebanyak RM6 juta dari peruntukan keseluruhan RM193.9 juta bagi tujuan kerja penyelenggaraan di seluruh bandar itu bagi tahun 2012.

"Perkhidmatan ini kita boleh berkongsi dengan rakyat. Kenapa penyelenggaraan tinggi kerana longkang banyak tersumbat. Kenapa longkang tersumbat kerana rakyat suka buang sampah," katanya dalam sidang media selepas Mesyuarat Bulanan MPK di sini.

Bagi mencapai sasaran itu, katanya, MPK sudah merangka program holistik bersama beberapa pihak seperti NGO, persatuan penduduk dan yang lain untuk memberi kesedaran kepada orang ramai.

Menurutnya, perancangan juga dibuat bagi mewujudkan jawatankuasa bertindak di kawasan penempatan penduduk bagi tujuan menjalankan kerja pembersihan kawasan serta yang lain yang bersesuaian demi kebaikan bersama.

Tegasnya, usaha itu sudah dirintis Ahli Parlimen Klang, Charles Santiago yang mewujudkan jawatankuasa bertindak di kawasannya bagi mengatasi masalah seperti banjir dan sebagainya.

Bagi menambahkan kecantikan bandar itu dan keselasaan masyarakat, katanya, MPK juga sedang menjalankan kerja-kerja pembersihan Sungai Klang secara berperingkat serta kawasan terbiar yang bakal dibangunkan sebagai kawasan hijau.

"JPS tiada halangan benarkan kami bersihkan Sungai Klang di samping bersihkan tebing. Kita bantu JPS cantikkan Sungai Klang. Dan kita ada pula tanah-tanah kita milik MPK di Meru dan Pandamaran yang terbiar semak. Mengapa tidak kita jadikan nurseri," katanya.
