MCA, Now The Guard Dog

For much as I can remember MCA was fondly remembered as a running dog, lap dog and what have you. MCA realised such canine qualities do not get votes. Hence this new look a guard dog. Nothing is going to get pass this ferocious German Shepherd, check, sniff, growl and then pass if things are okay.

On of the early visitors Works Minister, Mohd Zin, was sniffed out by the Guard Dog and no Sir, no 10% being set aside. Samy would have done a better job; he has much familiarity but unfortunately he is not around.

So good people, Beware Of The Dog, MCA is finally seen to act. Congrats.

My humble apologies to all dog lovers.   

MCA: Party against giving million-ringgit jobs to Class F contractors

PETALING JAYA: MCA opposes the move to set aside 10% of all Public Works Department (PWD) contracts worth more than RM10mil for Class F contractors.

Responding to Works Minister Datuk Mohd Zin Mohamed’s statement on Wednesday, the party said such contracts should be made available to all Malaysians through the open tender system.

Previously, Class F contractors could only take on projects valued below RM200,000.

The party proposed a mechanism to replace the current one announced by Mohd Zin.

In the proposal, MCA suggested that for contracts under RM200,000, 70% should be reserved for open tender among bumiputras, and 30% open tender to all Malaysians, with 5% margin of preference given to bumiputras.

The same was proposed for contracts worth between RM200,001 and RM500,000, but with a 4% margin of preference given to bumiputras.

For contracts between RM500,001 and RM10mil, the party proposed that 30% be reserved for open tender among bumiputras, and 70% open tender to all Malaysians.

It was suggested that the margin of preference given to bumiputras for contracts worth between RM500,001 and RM2mil was 3%, and 2% for contracts worth between RM2,000,001 and RM10mil.
