THE Housing and Local Government Ministry has asked the National Audit Department to study the open tendering practised by the National Landscape Department, which supposedly gives contractors a 200% profit.
“This is to upgrade the Landscape Department and rectify weaknesses or discrepancies which occur during the tendering process,” Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting said in reply to Hamim Samuri (BN – Ledang).
Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said the cost to stop other forms of electronic collection systems and install Touch 'n Go was borne by the respective highway concessionaires.
