PAC chairman Datuk Seri Hasan Arifin urged the Transport Ministry to impose a fine on the contractor handling the rail link between Johor and Singapore for delaying the project. — Picture by Choo Choy MayKUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — The Transport Ministry must penalise the firm handling the rail link between Johor and Singapore for missing the deadline to complete a depot in Kempas, Johor, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) recommended.
PAC chairman Datuk Seri Hasan Arifin said this was because the contractor only completed about 81 per cent of the project as of December 31, 2013, despite previously getting an extension to November the same year, and delaying the entire project.
