Penang Wanita MCA: Why no DID projects given to Chinese

PETALING JAYA: Penang Wanita MCA wants to know why not a single state Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) project was given to Chinese contractors.

Its chairman Tan Cheng Liang said she believed the Chinese contractors had submitted tender applications for the projects.

Has the state deemed their applications incomplete.

I am aghast and unable to comprehend why isnt a single contract awarded to a Chinese contractor, said Tan in response to Chief Minister Lim Guan Engs statement on July 27, that contractors in all five districts for the DID projects were Malays, bumiputras and Indian Muslims of which women accounted for 20%.

Tan said since the DAP took over the state, not a single Chinese contractor in the five districts were given projects.

The DAP-led state government should not simply award contracts to bumiputras to make themselves look fair.

They should ensure that the contractors are capable of guaranteeing a successful completion of the projects and there will not be problems later, she said.

Tan said there was proof that despite the support from the Chinese for Lim and DAP, the interest of the Chinese had been threatened after DAP came into power.

They realise that they cannot rely on the Chinese forever but I hope the curry favour among other races is not done at the expense of the Chinese, she said.
