Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Komtar, George Town On 27.11.12.<\/p>\n
Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha should do his duties as Transport Minister and visit the twin distressed projects of RM 250 million expansion of Penang International Airport and RM 43 million Tanjung City Marina as well as the troubled RM 65 Million Swettenham Pier project. The Penang state government is shocked by the outrageous claim by Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) that renovation and upgrading works at the Penang International Airport in Bayan Lepas have been \u201csubstantially completed\u201d.<\/p>\n
Any passenger who uses the Penang International airport facility knows this is untrue. How can MAHB sacrifice public interests by stating that the expansion project has been substantially completed when the roof has still not been put fully up, water leaks occur when raining, the toilets are dirty and the whole place still looks like a construction work-site with noise and dust. Only those with eyes but do not see, ears do not hear and a brain that does not think can agree with MAHB\u2019s outrageous lies that the RM250 million expansion project has been \u201csubstantially completed\u201d.<\/p>\n
Instead of trying to defend the contractors and officials monitoring the work done, MAHB should come clean and own up to the reasons behind the failure to complete the work on time. There have already been 2 extensions of time given to the contractor, the last one which expired on 24 November 2012. Can Kong state what is the new completion date and the penalties imposed on the contractor for failure of completion?<\/p>\n
Kong should come and inspect the airport himself instead of allowing MAHB to make Malaysia an international laughing-stock by announcing the airport to be substantially completed when it is not. If an uncompleted project can be passed off as \u201csubstantially completed\u201d after spending RM250 million, then this is a clear case of not just mismanagement of funds but also abuse of public trust.<\/p>\n
Kong should also inspect the abandoned RM 43 million Tanjung City Marina project, which is in a pitiful state. Despite being completed in 2007 at a cost of RM43 million, it is practically rotting away with half submerged disembarkation ramp in the sea water and rows of concrete and foam pontoons floating dangerously, posing a threat to cruise liners and ferries as well as security risks posed by lighting that is not working. The marina has the capacity to accommodate 140 yachts and boats with 102 berths but there are now no yachts or boats.<\/p>\n
The Penang Port Sdn Bhd (PPSB) management has pushed away responsibility for this failed project with a statement in today\u2019s papers that the marina’s berthing facilities, designed and constructed by the Penang Port Commission (PPC), were badly damaged because of design flaws. To overcome the design flaws, PPSB said that an additional RM10 million was required for repair works. PPSB added that the previous PPC Chair Tan Cheng Liang had promised to provide the RM10 million for repairs but the promise remain unfulfilled.<\/p>\n
Clearly the present PPC Chairman Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek has failed in his duty not just improving but even to maintain the facilities under PPC. For this reason, Kong must intervene and find a quick solution or else this abandoned RM 43 million Tanjung City Marina will only remind us all that is wrong with the management of a BN-controlled PPC.<\/p>\n
Kong should also inspect the RM65 million Swettenham Pier to prevent it from suffering the same fate. There have been several complaints of inadequate facilities and service by the important cruise liners that serve an important role to expand tourism into Penang.<\/p>\n
These 3 projects under the Transport Ministry cost a total of RM358 million. RM358 million is a gross wastage of public funds and abuse of public trust if Kong does not take immediate steps to stop such failure in project management as well as rescue these distressed projects. Instead of only being concerned about the tender of car registration numbers and installing 831 1Malaysia cameras under Automated Enforcement System or AES, Kong should come urgently to Penang to find a salvage and rescue formula.<\/p>\n

\nKenyataan Akhbar oleh Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang Lim Guan Eng di Komtar, George Town pada 27.11.12<\/p>\n
Kong Cho Ha Harus Menunaikan Tanggungjawab Sebagai Menteri Pengangkutan Dan Melawat Dua Projek Parah Iaitu Projek RM250 Juta Untuk Naik Taraf Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Pulau Pinang dan Projek RM43 Juta Tanjung City Marina Serta Projek Bermasalah Swettenham Pier Yang Bernilai RM65 Juta.<\/strong><\/p>\n Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha harus menunaikan tanggungjawab sebagai Menteri Pengangkutan dan melawat dua projek parah iaitu projek RM250 juta untuk naik taraf Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Pulau Pinang dan projek RM43 juta Tanjung City Marina serta projek bermasalah Swettenham Pier yang bernilai RM65 juta. Kerajaan negeri Pulau Pinang amat terkejut dengan dakwaan Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) bahawa kerja-kerja ubah suai dan naik taraf di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Pulau Pinang di Bayan Lepas sudah \u201cbanyak yang siap\u201d.<\/p>\n Mana-mana penumpang yang menggunakan prasarana Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Pulau Pinang pasti tahu bahawa kenyataan ini adalah palsu. Bagaimanakah boleh MAHB mengenepikan kepentingan awam dengan kenyataan bahawa projek naik taraf tersebut sudah \u201cbanyak yang siap\u201d apabila bumbung belum habis dipasang, air masih lagi bocor apabila hujan, tandas-tandas berada dalam keadaan kotor dan seluruh tempat itu kelihatan seperti tapak pembinaan dengan bunyi dan habuk. Hanya orang yang mempunyai mata yang rabun, telinga yang pekak dan otak yang tidak boleh berfikir sahaja akan bersetuju dengan penipuan MAHB bahawa projek RM250 juta tersebut itu sudah \u201cbanyak yang siap\u201d.<\/p>\n Daripada melindungi kontraktor-kontraktor dan pegawai pemantauan, MAHB harus bersikap jujur dan memberi sebab-sebab kenapa kerja naik taraf tersebut tidak mematuhi masa. Masa sudah pun dilanjutkan 2 kali untuk kontraktor tersebut, di mana lanjutan terakhir telah tamat pada 24 November 2012. Bolehkah Kong menyatakan apakah tarikh siap baru dan apakah penalti yang akan dikenakan kepada kontraktor kerana gagal menyiapkan dalam tempoh masa yang sepatutnya?<\/p>\n Kong harus datang dan memeriksa sendiri dan tidak membenarkan MAHB untuk menjadikan Malaysia sebagai bahan lawak antarabangsa dengan pengumuman bahawa lapangan terbang tersebut sudah \u201cbanyak yang siap\u201d apabila jelas banyak lagi yang belum siap. Sekiranya projek yang tidak siap boleh dikatakan sebagai \u201cbanyak yang siap\u201d selepas perbelanjaan RM250 juta, maka ini adalah satu kes yang membabitkan bukan sahaja salah urus kewangan tetapi penyelewengan amanah awam.<\/p>\n Kong juga harus memeriksa projek RM43 juta Tanjung City Marina yang terbengkalai. Walaupun disiapkan pada tahun 2007 pada harga RM43 juta, ia kini berada dalam keadaan reput dengan tanjakan yang separuh tenggelam dan barisan-barisan pontun konkrit yang terapung serta membahayakan kapal-kapal persiaran dan feri serta membawa risiko keselamatan akibat lampu-lampu yang rosak. Marina tersebut mempunyai kapasiti untuk menampung 140 buah kapal layar dan bot dengan 102 kawasan berlabuh, tetapi tiada satu pun kapal layar atau bot yang kelihatan.<\/p>\n Pihak pengurusan Penang Port Sdn Bhd (PPSB) menepiskan tanggungjawab bagi kegagalan projek tersebut dengan kenyataan dalam akhbar hari ini bahawa prasarana pelabuhan yang direka dan dibina oleh Penang Port Commission (PPC) telah rosak akibat kecacatan reka bentuk. Untuk mengatasi kecacatan reka bentuk, PPSB berkata bahawa RM10 juta diperlukan untuk kerja pembaikan. PPSB menambah bahawa Pengerusi PPC terdahulu Tan Cheng Liang telah berjanji untuk menyediakan RM10 juta untuk kerja pembaikan tetapi sampai sekarang janji tidak ditepati.<\/p>\n Jelas Pengerusi PPC kini Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek telah gagal dalam tanggungjawabnya bukan sahaja untuk menaikkan taraf malah untuk menyelenggara prasarana PPC. Untuk sebab ini, Kong harus campur tangan dan mencari penyelesaian dengan lekas. Kalau tidak, projek RM43 juta Tanjung City Marina yang terbengkalai ini akan menjadi peringatan kepada semua tentang salah urus oleh pihak pengurusan PPC yang dikawal BN.<\/p>\n Kong juga harus memeriksa Swettenhem Pier yang bernilai RM65 juta untuk mengelak daripada nasib yang sama. Aduan telah diterima daripada kapal-kapal persiaran yang penting kepada sektor pelancongan Pulau Pinang bahawa perkhidmatan dan kemudahan yang disediakan tidak memuaskan.<\/p>\n Ketiga-tiga projek ini adalah di bawah naungan Kementerian Pengangkutan dan berjumlah RM358 juta. RM358 juta ini akan menjadi pembaziran yang besar dan penyelewengan amanah awam sekiranya Kong tidak mengambil langkah segera untuk mengelakkan kegagalan dalam pengurusan projek serta menyelamatkan projek-projek yang parah ini. Daripada membazirkan masa dengan nombor pendaftaran kereta dan pemasangan 831 kamera 1Malaysia di bawah Sistem Pengkuatkuasaan Automatik atau AES, Kong harus datang segera ke Pulau Pinang dan menyelamatkan keadaan.<\/p>\n Lim Guan Eng<\/p>\n —-Mandarin Version—<\/p>\n
