Another project of the Barisan Nasional government, Stadium Kuala Trengganu….has collapsed.

I wonder why we see signboards stating that this is yet another 'Barisan Nasional' project – when it is in truth a project of the government of Malaysia.

But when buildings come crushing down – then suddenly we do not hear that this was a BN government project – it just becomes government project…

Blame also gets shifted to some foreign contractor, etc… The responsibility, of course, lies with the BN government and the State Government.

Thankfully, this roof did not collapse when the stadium was full for a football game or some other function. Now, it seems that there were no one who got injured or killed – but wait there were cars (vehicles) that were crushed… hopefully all are safe..

Who issued the certificate of fitness? Was it not the Majlis Bandaran(Bandaraya) Kuala Trengganu…yes, blame lies with the person/s who said that all was OK with that building…We demand immediate investigation – and immediate action against those who approved. Action should also be taken against the Architect, Engineers, etc…But, alas, this is Malaysia and the names of those responsible will become 'secret' – and nothing may happen. Who got the contract to build the stadium? Who did the contractor sub-contract to…and who did the sub-contractor sub-contract to…and who did that sub-sub-sub contractor sub-contract to…who really did the final building…

Sub-contracting so many times is a norm in Malaysia – many a time some of this who get the contract (or the sub-contract) do not even have the capacity to build even a toilet. So, why did they get the contract (or the sub-contract) – well that is one way how money can flow into certain pockets legally…
