JKR: Follow up 10Mar09

About 11.10am this morning I had a reasonable tele-conversation with Timbalan Ketua Pengarah on 2 major concerns:
  1. Encroachment to house 17 is evidently at its worst over the long weekends (5th slide after 6th December 08)
  2. As promised on Thursday, 26th February we have not seen any substantial set up work for the slope just yet. Mr Selva, the Timbalan gave strong assurance that our concerns are been taken into action that had gone through procurement processes. My questions and requests are immediate protection of tarpaulin to slope as all tarpaulins are all flushed away, work commencement and expectations, person for us to liaise and names of contractors and design. Mr Selva's response: preliminary work, detail survey, setting of site office and logistic work are the concentration within this week. This is definitely taking place as assured by Mr Selva. I am aware and saw a gen set been placed sometime last week and that was about all. Issuance of instructions on scope work to contractors are finalised by JKR. We are being advised by Mr Selva to leave the consultancy n design aspects to JKR which has a proven track record of Malaysian standard of custodian. Work to be accomplished less than 1 year on the failed slope. Project manager will be Dato Baharudin. Mr Selva also will consider to invite 2 representatives to sit in their 1st site meeting. Names of contractors will be on the notice board which will eventually be put on the site.
  3. Tomorrow Wednesday 11 March: JKR will have a meeting with contractors at JKR head off. Mr Selva will be in the position to advise further after the outcome of the meeting. I will follow up again on Friday (13th March).

Lastly I was told to have faith in JKR!

Thank you and regards,
