See for yourself, Toilets in Parliament
Yesterday, during the reply by the Minister of Works, DAP MPs raised the issue regarding the poor condition and workmanship of the renovation work in Parliament. Almost RM 99 million spent for the renovation. I particularly raised the poor workmanship of the toilets in Parliament.
We do not need a superscale B ( I was told, the total of salary and allowance are almost RM 13,000 a month) to take care of the toilets in Parliament. The problems in the toilets are caused by the poor work conducted by the appointed contractor by the Ministry of Works.
Many will ask, what are the problems of the toilets in Parliament?
I will tell you. It is similar to what you see in the “satu lagi projek Barisan Nasional”.
Dear Po Kuan,
The picture is too small…

sorry, for posting for the third time, but i got it now. different mossaic level (2nd pic) and not enough allowance on the door handle. but one can argue that the lack of allowance on the outer side of the door is because you only use it to push. hahaha.

Lots of corruption involved in the Parliament renovation works.Guess how many middle men contractors have taken a cut before it reached the final contractor who completed the works?

RM99 mil? I thought toilet renovations are straight forward? Well, parliament ones. I guess they need a lot of committee to be set up. Different committees to review the plan, the structure, the price,etc, and finally, the figure to put down in the expense book. Looks like Malaysia’s definitely in need of a second World Toilet College.

Welcome to the blogsphere. You will find that it is a far greater communication channel to expound and make available your thoughts to the people at large.
We want to hear more from you and we want to hear your ideology and philosophy of the politics in Malaysia and what the rakyats need to expect.

I would actually like to know how much of the 99 million was really spent on toilet renovation. Bearing in mind that the whole Dewan Rakyat was renovated too. But it does beg some answering asto how the shoddy work could be accepted? The contractor must be asked to repairs all the wear and etar as well as the imperfection before the job is accepted as complete by the Parliament. And to add furtehr injury, isnt there suppossed to be maintenance work by aprliament as well to ensure everything could work and be repaired in no time…. bearing in mind that it is the Parliament….

po kuan, saya tak menyebelahi mana2 pihak tapi saya sangat faham kemusykilan ramai orang apa yang telah digunakan dengan 99juta tu tapi dalam masa yang sama bende2 remeh macam toilet pun boleh terlepas pandang? imagine kita tengah berak di toilet parlimen lepas tu pintu tandas terkuak orang boleh nampak oh malunya mak bapak! malaysia, malaysia..

Libraries and toilets define a developed country. The poor reading rate / habit and poor public toilet conditions and usage reflect on the country’s claim on ‘development’.

Po Kuan, why are you complaining for the sake of complaining? In every country in the world, government needs to create business oppurtunity for its citizens. Malaysia is no different. Toilets in the parliament may cost millions but this is the price for being a wakil rakyat.
