IPOH: Frequent fatal road accidents along the Batu Tiga Segari-Changkat Jering federal road I
should be a thing of the past when the stretch is upgraded to a four-lane dual carriageway at a
cost of RM680 million.
The state government has received RM20 million from the Federal Government to begin
initial work, which would be carried out by the Public Works Department soon. Perak
Menteri Sesar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir said he received a letter from Works
Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor a week ago stating that the allocation for the project
had been approved under the 10th Malaysia Plan. 'The road is an accident-prone area... many
deaths have taken place along the 60km road.
"At present, the PWD is identifying the alignment of the road. We expect the upgrading
works to start early next year," he said after launching the construction work for the RM38
million Ipoh City Integrated Bus Terminal and Commercial Complex in Bandar Meru Raya
here yesterday. Zambry said he raised the idea of upgrading the road with Prime Minister
Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who then promised to approve the allocation under the 10th
Malaysia Plan.

He said the state government was also seeking assistance from the Federal Government to
develop the Medan Kidd bus station and turn it into an Ipoh Sentral, similar to KL SentraL as
efforts to upgrade the public transport system in the state. "We are looking at an integrated
transportation hub which wi1l include taxi stands, bus stations and the Ipoh railway station.
The Medan Kidd bus station is located about 200m from the railway station.
The land parcel between the bus station and the rai lway station belongs to several parties
including bus operators, Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad, Perak Malay Chamber of Commerce I
"We have initiated discussions with all the parties and will need to have further talks before a
final blueprint is made public," he said, adding that KTMB had agreed to the idea. On the
Ipoh City Integrated Bus Terminal and Commercial Complex, he said the operators would
provide inter-state and inter-city services, pointing out that the terminal would later be linked
with the proposed Ipoh Sentral. Zambry said the state government was willing to provide
subsidies to bus companies which were willing to ply routes to small towns which may have
low passenger load. Meanwhile, The Combined Bus Services Sdn Bhd chief executive officer
I
Datuk Hiew Yew Can said the company would acquire 250 new buses for RM 112 mi Ilion to
lElY the routes in the state. ~

THE need lor a high quality culture to be adopted for all construction projects. whether they
are public or private structures or facilities, cannot be over emphasized, as the people's safety
should be of paramount impol1ance.
The fact that there have been a spate of "problem" projects with structural problems or
cel1ified unfit for occupancy shows that a conscious quality culture is still grossly missing
mnong some industry players.
From faulty infi'astructure projects to poorly constructed public buildings and amenities. the
list includes the collapse of the Kuala Terengganll stadium roof and the roof of the Kuala
Berang express bus and taxi terminal. the RM 18mil Batu Burn" Aquatic Complex and the
RM 123mil Sultan Mahmud Airport terminal. Shoddy workmanship and the lISC of sub
standard building materials have been found to be the major contributor of most of these
failed projects. There is also the issue of proper maintenance and whether these public
structures are periodica]]y maintained to ensure that they are in tip-top condition.
Besides the loss of lives like the three schoolchildren attending the 1Malaysia camp in Kuala
Dipang who drowned after the suspension bridge they werc on collapsed last October. such I
mishaps will also tarnish the image of the country and the whole industry.
MAB 236316
It is impol1ant to ensure that personals of the gov.'en{in g authorities. including the Public II
Works Depariment. are \ve] I equipped and properly trained to ensure they keep abreast of
latest industry standards and needs to conduct th""ir supervisory roll' rcsponsibly, Industry I
practitioners should take it upon themselves to promote a conscious quality culture in all tl\cir I
projects.
There are many benefits that can be reaped from having quality construction standards that
include significantly reducing the incidents of structural and architectural defects. The I
adoption of high international standards in our building and construction projects is a good
platform f(x local players to take their developmcnts international. For a start. industry
players and the governing authorities should work towards a minimum set of quality
standards that need to be adhered to by the building fraternity, including contractors.
Although there is a local quality system. the Quality Assessment System in Construction
introduced by the Construction Industry Development Board since :2006 to evaluate the
quality and workmanship of construction projects in the country. it is not compulsory for the
building II'sternity to adopt thel11.
The adoption of such standards should not be just to win government contracts but to ensure a
strong quality culture prevail among industry practitioners. In Singapore. it is compulsory for
all public amenities and government buildings to adhere to the strict guidelines of the
Construction Quality Assessment System (Conquas).
11s Bui Icling and Construction Authority conducts intensi ve training camps for developers.
contractors. and building engineers, to adopt these stringent quality standards in their projects.
The fact that therc are 47 Malaysian developers and contractors who are adopting Conquas
shows that there are local players that have embraced the quality culture seriously.
It is important to build on this foundation and cast the net wider to include all the industry
players. whether big or small. A poor maintenance culture is also one of the major tlaws in
our society today that has contributed to the poor state of affairs in many of our buildings and
public facilities. To ensure greater durability and sustainability of these f~lcilities. there is a
need to promote a world-class maintenance culture among the people and the relevant
authorities. There is no point having great buildings or projects if they are not properly
maintained.
For those who own strata-titled buildings. it is mandatory for them to makl;' monthly
contribution to a common maintenance fund to ensure the proper upkeep and maintenance of
the common facilities. The maintenance is the responsibility of the joint management body
(1J'v1B), of which owners are members. It is the responsibility of owners to pay the
maintenance fees. Likewise. the respective local councils and authorities should also ensure
that all public facilities are properly maintained to ensure they are safe to the users at all
times.
Q4. (a) What is meant by the Butterfly Effect? Does it have any influence on
project implementations? How can you manage this effect?

(e) Based on the rock mass rating (RMR) of the rock mass 4(b), it is highly
recommended to excavate the tunnel with maximum roof-span of 4 m.
This will help to increase the stand-up time for installation of temporary
support system on the roof section. The RMR also indicates that it is
practically SAFE to excavate near vertical walls of more than 6 m height
in this rock. Recommend the stage/sequence of excavation that is most
appropriate if multiple-headings method is selected for excavation of this
tunnel.

Q1. Compulsory
The planning and construction of a facility can affect several interests. Positive
effects are, for instance, better communications. better housing and a higher standard
of living. However, construction projects inevitably bring varying degrees of
deterioration and change of local level, not least at the construction site.
The basic problem is that if a facility is to built some external stakeholders will be
negatively affected by that facility or by the implementation of the construction
project leading up to it. It follows that, in the course of implementing a construction
project, not all needs and concerns from external stakeholders can be fulfilled. The
challenge for the projects manager is then to plan and implement the project in a
manner that fulfills as many external stakeholder needs and concerns as possible
without compromising the purpose of the project. The role of the project manager
must involve not just an understanding of the technical process, but also an
understanding of the links between technique, the environment, the community and
the people in it. For instance, a local community possesses unique information
about local circumstances. The project manager should acquire knowledge about
the location of the project using this competence and, furthermore, engage the local
community in the planning of the construction project. Thus, an external
stakeholder management process should, if managed correctly, be seen as a positive
opportunity to improve the project.
The purpose of the research project is to contribute to, and increase, knowledge
concerning external stakeholder for construction projects, and to develop methods
and tools for the analysis of the influence of external stakeholder. The aim is to
formulate model and tools to describe the process of analyzing external stakeholder
needs and concerns for construction projects. The model will form a baseline for
actions intended to improve the decision making process for the implementation of
construction projects.
MAB 225313
From the studied cases and literature reviews the external stakeholder analysis
process can be described as consisting of the following five components:
1. stakeholder identification
2. stakeholder needs and concerns
3. stakeholder impact analysis
4. evaluation of alternative solutions
5. level of acceptance
6. stakeholder communication strategy
