Over 200 JKR-supervised construction projects ahead of implementation schedule
KUNAK: More than 200 of the 800 construction projects supervised by the Public Works Department (JKR) nationwide are currently ahead of schedule or Ahead of Time (AOT). Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Maslan ( pic ) said this took into account projects that were ahead of schedule by more than a week to 10 days. "But this 200 is still not enough, while the remaining construction projects are not on schedule and late projects, and with three per cent being sick projects. "It must be ensured that any project, especially in Sabah, be completed on schedule or AOT. When the project is late, among the plans that the contractor should do is to create extra work time, for example on weekends, including creating double shifts of work per day," he said. He said this to reporters after reviewing the progress of the new building construction project covering 12 classrooms and other facilities at SK Kunak Jaya here Wednesday (July 16). Ahmad also suggested that relevant public works officers visit and learn about construction aspects abroad, such as China and India, which complete construction projects quickly using the latest technology, including the 'prefabricated modular system'. In Sabah, ahead of schedule are five dilapidated school projects, including two in Semporna and one each in Tawau, Kota Belud and Pensiangan. Meanwhile, Ahmad said there is a project to build a new building at SK Kunak Jaya, costing RM24.3mil, and expected to be completed in November, has now reached 18 per cent of the physical progress. He added that the project, which began in June 2024, involves the construction of 12 classrooms, an administration block, a science room, workshop, computer laboratory, surau and canteen, and will benefit more than 500 students at the school. - Bernama
