JKR to vet health facility contractors


ALOR GAJAH: The Public Works Department (JKR) will vet contractors who want to be involved in the construction of health facilities to avoid “sick” projects, says the Deputy Works Minister.

Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad said there were currently 166 projects related to the construction of health facilities, but 24 of them were delayed because the majority of contractors involved did not have experience in this area.
