“I am shocked and I want answers,” said a furious Samy Vellu..... in response to the collapse of a two-storey building on a hillslope at the edge of Tasik Banding in Gerik. (read here and here )
The incident is the latest and the most serious involving government buildings, which have been hit by flooding from burst pipes, collapsed ceilings, power outages and cracked walls.
The complex has remained vacant since its completion in 2004, as the small number of rooms made it uneconomical to manage. It was to have been the last stop for tourists visiting the Belum-Temenggor forest.
There were signs of massive erosion on the slopes, with muddy water still running into the lake.
The collapsed structure – the first of a two-phase project under the Perak State Park Corporation – consisted of 14 rooms, an office block, a showroom to sell orang asli goods, and a car park. Completed in 2004, it was built at a cost of RM4.5mil with an allocation from the Tourism Ministry. The second phase consists of 26 more rooms at the same site; the project costing RM5mil is also funded by the Tourism Ministry.
Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Tajol Rosli said the state government would appoint a professional body to determine the cause of the collapse.
Samy Vellu said the project was not under Public Works Department (PWD) supervision, but since PWD is the technical arm of the Government, he has ordered the Perak PWD to conduct an investigation.
Act of God ?......of course !
Case closed !
*I draw your attention to the bold markings-......sigh...my tax-paying worries too !

well...this is not the first time right? and not first time we have Samy saying the same stuff, over and over and over and over again. And this building was ready in 2003, still left vacant? What does it says? Yours and my money down the slope la.
Datuk representing Temmengor constituency cited climatic changes as one of the reasons.
I thought that the earthquake in Chile which registered a 7.7 richter scale was the cause. bollocks? asked that Datuk and samy first, ok.

More money down the taxpayers drain as usual, eh Bro? With our SV in charge --eh no, I mean as long as we get these unqualified people to run the show we are doomed. Act of God? No, too easy. How about Act of Bloody Stupid Morons? It's okay if bloody stupid morons are just ordinary folks like you and me. But unfortunately they happen to be Ministers...
