All govt buildings to have plaster ceilings

KUALA LUMPUR, THU.:

All government buildings will have plaster ceilings in the future to avoid further embarrassing incidents of faulty ceilings.

Fed up with the numerous incidents of cracked or leaky ceilings, Works Minister Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu said the present acoustic ceilings were too thin.

And for how long has the PWD been constructing government buildings? And it took them this long to figure out that present acoustic ceilings are too thin?

"I will tell the Public Works Department not to use the acoustic ceilings any more as it has caused a lot of problems and shame for the PWD.

"I don’t think I can bear the shame of these incidents any more. I do not want to take the blame for someone else’s mistakes. In the future, we will spend a bit more and use plaster ceilings which will be better," he said.

Look at how the minister is speaking. Read between the lines and you will see he's merely saying "it wasn't me!" and instead pointing fingers to everyone else except himself.

Samy Vellu was commenting on yet another mishap at the Jalan Duta court complex yesterday, this time involving a bent ceiling.

A High Court (Commercial division) Judicial Commissioner had to postpone a hearing about 11.15am after she noticed from her bench that a decorated square piece of the ceiling was a little bent in the middle.

Samy Vellu said the ceilings at the Jalan Duta court complex and ceilings of other buildings displaying similar problems would be replaced with plaster ceilings.

I wonder how much this plaster ceiling contract will be worth. I wonder why the amount wasn't mentioned in this report.

BLA BLA BLA!
