Education Ministry is big spender

In 2008 Auditor-General’s report, it was exposed that Education Ministry spent RM250 for each six Peacock flowers for SK Bukit Jawa 2 in Kelantan. However, it is learnt that the flowers in fact worth RM30 only according to the market price.

Besides that, the report published also revealed that the department spent over RM57,000 solely for gardening and maintenance purposes for SK Bukit Jawa 2. The amount spent is 880 per cent higher than other local nurseries.

The report signed by Auditor-General Tan Sri Ambrin Buang noted that Education Ministry spent 56 to 64 percent higher to install and replace doors in SMK Mahsuri, Langkawi and SMK Seri Gunong, Alor Star compared to the original prices mentioned by Works Ministry.

As a result, Education Ministry paid RM480 per door instead of the lower price, RM272.20 quoted by Works Ministry. In an astounding report, even though previously RM18,600 has been allocated and spent to upgrade and improve the field at SK Gunong, it is learnt that the field remains bumpy while stones filled up the holes.

IT COMES AS GREAT SURPRISE TO ME WHEN I WENT TO MY KIDS SCHOOL OFFICES (IN KL)
IT REALLY REFLECT THAT UNPROFESSIONALISM LOOK WITH ALL THE FLOWERED DESIGN CURTAINS.
AND ALL THOSE UNNECESSARY DECORATIONS.

I HAVE TO TAKE OFF MY SHOES TO ENTER THE OFFICE. THE STAFF ARE LIKE LIVING IN THE COMFORT OF THEIR OWN HOME AND WALKING AROUND BAREFOOT.

WHEN PEOPLE WORK IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY NEED TAKE OFF THEIR SHOES, PSYCHOLOGICALLY PEOPLE TEND TO LAZE AROUND, BERSILA IN THEIR CHAIRS WHILE WORKING
OR CHEWING AWAY SOMETHING IN THEIR MOUTH AND TALKING ALOUND AT EACH OTHER ACROSS THE FLOOR.

THERE ARE EVEN SCHOOLS USING ALUMINIUM ALPHABETS TO DISPLAYING THE SCHOOL NAME. PAINTING THE ALPHABETS SHOULD BE JUST GOOD ENOUGH. MONEY WASTAGE FOR THE KAMPUNG STYLE DECORATIONS ARE ALREADY AN EYE-SORE. BUT WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FROM ALL THIS CRAP?

AND THE WORST THING IS THE UNPROFESSIONALISM IMAGE REFLECTED IN AN OFFICIAL WORKING ENVIRONMENT!

.ITS BIG CORRUPTER LIKE ALL HER SISTER DEPARTMENTS UNDER THE BARISAN UMNO.

MACC KILLED TBH FOR RM2400...AND EVEN A SCHOOL SPENDS HOW MUCH HERE?? Y NO KILLINGS WHEN THEY ARE WAY MORE THAN THE RM2400??

IF ITS OK TO KILL FOR CORRUPTION, IM SURE THERE WONT BE ANYBODY LEFT AT PUTRAJAYA.

SO THIS IS THE UMNO GOVERNMENT...RM250 WHEN ACTUAL PRICE IS RM30.... WAY TO GO MALAYSIA...U ARE ONLY 1 METRE BRHIND ZIMBABWE AND ALREADY AHEAD OF MYANMAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
