ALOR STAR:Works Ministry is phasing out part-time contractors as they produced shoddy jobs, said its minister, Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor.
He said there were far too many contractors in the country, numbering some 45,000, and it had to be reduced by retaining full-time contractors.
"It is hoped that the part-timers will be phased out. If you want to be contractors, you must be serious about it and make it your main source of income.
"Most part-time contractors take things easy and as such, they produced shoddy work. Some of them are using other people's licences and this is not a healthy culture," he told reporters after opening the Kedah Malay Contractors Association here on Saturday night.
Shaziman said about 31,000 contractors in the country were in class F category.
He urged small-time contractors to set up consortiums to give them the synergy to pool their resources and expertise and enable them to compete globally.
Shaziman advised owners of construction machines to register these with the association to enable ill-equipped contractors to rent them.
"This will not only forge cooperation among contractors but also help others to save cost," he added. - Bernama
They have been giving cronies free $$ for shoddy works for centuries. And the cronies has always enjoyed supports from the "rakyat" who made up the 45,000 contractors + workers. Coz the $$ is distributed amongst them. How did you think money politics take place mostly? Cold hard cash just like that? Some cases yes, but mostly, by offering contracts and turning one eye blind over the shoddy works.
Why you think there's a big hole in the middle of the highway? Infamous leak at the parliment?
But now, since the $$ is less to be shared, they will need to weed out the small fishes. More $$ for the bigger fish. Looks like more unemployment soon. Then there;s one funny statement above.

WTF competing globally? Fancy engrish? This is shoddy works with very very very very very very very very very very very very very very poor workmanship and you want them to jump to woooo......... "competing globally". Fancy engrish?
I've almost never encounter the "talk cock sing song" theory personally. Now I know why there's such a phrase.
