Vizione, related party mutually terminate RM750mil construction contract

KUALA LUMPUR: Vizione Holdings Bhd has announced the termination of a RM750 million construction contract awarded by Fields of Forest Sdn Bhd, a related party, almost a year after securing the job.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, Vizione did not provide a reason for the termination but said that it was mutual.
"The board of directors of Vizione wishes to inform that both parties had on April 29, agreed to mutually terminate the letter of award with immediate effect," it said.
The group added that the termination will not have any material impact on its consolidated earnings per share or net assets per share in the near term.
The contract, announced in May 2024, involved main construction works for Phases 2 and 3 of a mixed development project in Gombak, Selangor.
Vizione previously disclosed that the job constituted a related-party transaction, which had yet to be mandated.
It said managing director Datuk Ng Aun Hooi and executive director Bee Jian Ming owned 5.28 per cent were indirect shareholders of Fields of Forest.

Dr Sim: Full completion of Kuching wastewater Package 2 expected by year-end

KUCHING (Aug 13): The Kuching Centralised Wastewater Management Package 2 worth RM750 million is expected to be fully completed by the end of this year, said Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian. According to a Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas) report, the Deputy Premier said this project will benefit approximately 4,000 premises in Kubah Ria, Pinang Jawa, Laruh Scheme, Heritage Garden, as well as major buildings such as Normah Medical Centre, Baitulmakmur, and Wisma Bapa Malaysia. 'This marks another significant milestone in Sarawak's infrastructure that will enhance the residents' quality of life,' he said at the Sewerage Services Department Sarawak annual dinner last night. The Public Health, Housing and Local Government Minister said Sarawak continues to make headway in developing an integrated sewerage management system, with a series of strategic projects benefiting residents across its major towns and cities. He said this includes the Kuching Centralised Wastewater Management System Zone 1, Package A, which has connected 103,076 population equivalent (PE), or approximately 3,089 premises in Satok, Jalan Ajibah Abol, the city centre, Padungan, and Petanak since its commissioning in 2017. In Miri, the Centralised Sewerage System Phase 1—completed last year—has linked 29,494 PE across 721 premises, including those in Saberkas, Boulevard, Waterfront, Wireless Walk, and Jalan Marbau. He noted that the department has also completed two Septic Sludge Treatment Plants in Miri and Sibu at a combined cost of RM40 million. The Miri plant has so far treated 273,192 cubic metres of sludge, while the Sibu facility has processed 287,621 cubic metres, contributing to public health and environmental protection. Looking ahead, he said the department is planning and designing several major initiatives valued at RM1.653 billion. These are the Kuching Centralised Wastewater Management System Zone 1, Package 3 (around 3,000 houses), Miri Centralised Sewerage System Phase 2 (around 4,200 premises), Samarahan Centralised Sewerage System Phase 1 (around 3,000 houses), and the Bintulu Sewerage System Rationalisation. Dr Sim said the progress reflects the Sarawak government's commitment to delivering modern and sustainable sewerage facilities for the well-being of Sarawakians.

A total of 4,368 cases were reported this year, involving losses of RM750,519,581, said Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa. "This is a big increase compared to the 2,715 cases reported during the same period in 2024, which saw losses exceeding RM350 million," he added.

Klang Valley motorists spend over 580 hours a year stuck in traffic

KUALA LUMPUR: Klang Valley motorists are spending more than 580 hours a year stuck in traffic, costing them an estimated RM9,000 annually in vehicle maintenance and fuel expenses. According to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia's (UKM) senior lecturer in transport engineering, Dr Ahmad Nazrul Hakimi Ibrahim, traffic congestion has become a pressing issue with wide-ranging consequences. "Based on recent findings, the average motorist spends about 135 minutes daily in traffic. This not only translates to fuel wastage — an estimated 2.6 litres per hour, costing RM11.99 a day — but also a significant loss in productivity," he was quoted as saying by Harian Metro. For a worker earning RM3,000 a month, this equates to roughly RM750 in lost productivity each month. Malaysia currently has the second-highest vehicle ownership rate in Asia, with 535 vehicles per 1,000 people, further compounding the congestion issue in urban centres like Klang Valley. Spending 580 hours a year in traffic is equivalent to motorists losing around 24 full days annually to congestion. Ahmad Nazrul said traffic congestion should no longer be viewed as merely a transportation problem. "It impacts public health, contributes to air pollution, induces emotional stress, and disrupts work-life balance. A more integrated and sustainable solution is urgently needed," he said. He recommended several long-term measures, including: Enhancing public transport systems and increasing accessibility, expanding flexible working hours and remote work options, and offering incentives for electric vehicles and carbon-based taxation. A recent study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that remote work could reduce commuting time by up to 69 minutes a day, while improving worker productivity. Ahmad Nazrul also criticised proposals to phase out cars older than 15 years, saying such a policy could negatively affect lower-and middle-income groups (B40 and M40). "Many people still rely on older vehicles for their daily mobility. Instead of banning them, the government should consider periodic technical inspections and targeted subsidies to encourage greener practices," he said. He added that addressing traffic woes requires cross-sector collaboration, involving urban planners, policymakers, and the public. "It's not just about building more roads. It's about planning better cities, designing smarter transport systems, and shifting societal habits," he said.
