Auditor-General’s Report: School construction projects managed inefficiently


KUALA LUMPUR: The management of school construction projects was found to be inefficient and ineffective based on the scope and audit samples covering the construction of 19 new schools during the 2016-2021 period in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Melaka and Negri Sembilan.

According to the Auditor-General’s Report 2021 Series 1, this was due to weaknesses at the planning, pre-construction and implementation stages of the projects by the Education Ministry, consultants and contractors.
