In his first month as Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak received praise and applause for his assurance that he would cut down on direct negotiations for government procurement contracts and instead adopt the tender system on efforts to curb corruption and restore public confidence in the government.
The award of the building-for-land deal to Naza TTDI Sdn Bhd involving 65 acres of prime land in Kuala Lumpur with a gross development value of RM15 billion for building a RM628 million Matrade expo centre has dashed public hopes and expectations that Najib is serious about open tenders, accountability, transparency and the war against corruption.
As combating corruption is one of the six National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) announced by Najib, is the Key Performance Index (KPI) Minister, dare Tan Sri Dr. Koh Tsu Koon raise in Cabinet urging for a review and to ask for the Matrade building-for-land deal to be submitted to open tender to ensure that the government and the public obtains the best deal.
As KPI Minister, is Koh prepared to notify the Cabinet that the KPI and NKRA of the Najib administration for combating corruption would be adversely affected if the deal exchanging RM628 million Matrade centre for land worth RM15 billion gross development value is pushed through without being submitted to open tender – as well as a review of the need for another convention centre when available convention centres like the RM600 million Putrajaya International Convention Centre is grossly underutilized?

Do you send the weakest or the strongest soldier to fight the war to win??? any right minded person will tell you the answer is clear unless they are playing video war games which losing might not have any adverse effects other than to play the game again, but not the real war, where every soldier dies will have much higher implications!!!
Malaysia & BN govt have not much time left to play play with the country’s future!!! Failure to rectify what ever wrong policies implemented will quicken the downfall not only BN govt but also the country as a whole!!! Wahabislah!!!

The problem with BN govt is that they set the fishing rules so rigid that only allow themselves to fish by using net without conditions and requires those who are expert in fishing not to fish too much, but at the same time make them to give back a big portion of the fishes fished in order to help those who are not good in fishing but refused to fish even though given the tools and taught how to fish for empteen times!!! Now the pond is getting smaller and fishing experts from all over the places are coming to fish in the same pond, the local expert is finding it tough to fish, but the expectation from the BN govt is the same like before!!! So wahabislah!!!

I disagree with kasim amat,the reality is challenging the tender system and the constitution is actually pin pointing to the malay folks ,that Umnoputras are the real beneficiaries,not the vast majority of the ordinary malay folks. Kasim amat should know and sooner he knows it,it’s better for all his folks.If kasim amat is one of the umnoputras,I have no say. If not,then please don’t blindly defend these guys as its leading to your own folk steady destruction.

Hi Kasim amat,look now,thousands of your own folks are victims of floods currently in pahang,trengangnu,kelantan,I’m sure you know none of all these victims is an Umnoputra.Go ask Nazri or toyo have they been victim of flood before .Please don’t blame God,okay as the Almighty has nothing to do with it. It’s human creed,umnoputras’s creed that caused all these misfortunes.Yet you still defend them(umnoputras).
