RM1.67million per bed - Another Malaysian Scam


PWD goes silent on overpriced

Hospital Shah Alam


By Hazlan Zakaria


More than a month after allegations of irregularities surfaced over the

Shah Alam Hospital project, the Public Works Department (PWD) has

yet to respond to the questions raised.

Last month, Malaysiakini reported source-based claims that the contract

was awarded under debatable circumstances and at an inflated price of

about RM500 million to Sunshine Fleet Sdn Bhd, a company owned by

a member of the Selangor royalty.

The company has allegedly been skimming off project funds for 'advances'

and 'expenses', and also stands accused of harassing companies it had

engaged as sub-contractors. It has refused comment, saying that queries

should be directed to PWD which 'owns' the project.




Since then, PWD secretary-general Judin Abdul Karim - who signed the letter
interests of the public?" asked Low.

Malaysian Institute of Corporate Governance president Megat Najmuddin
Megat Khas, when contacted, said, "If there is any hint of corruption or
abuse of power, then the MACC must step in to investigate. If any fraud
is seen, the police must step in.

"We cannot compromise in our fight against corruption and other criminal
acts of a financial nature, irrespective of the personalities involved. Nobody
is above the law."

The 300-bed hospital is slated to open in November.
