I HAVE been in the construction line since I graduated from university and started my career in tunnelling. Hence, the ongoing wrangle between MMC-Gamuda and the Finance Ministry has caught my attention. I was among a few Malaysians who were fortunate enough to be involved in the final stages of building the Channel Tunnel during our stint in London. We thought we were lucky to be involved in tunnel design as it was a very specialised field and there were not many tunnels being built in Malaysia at that time.
As our nation progressed from the 1980s till now, we have seen tunnels being built using boring machines for the Stormwater Management And Road Tunnel (SMART Tunnel), MRT, Sprint Highway and Rasa Water Treatment Plant mainly by one company – Gamuda.
