Question

Accepted Answer

KCJ Engineering Received Standard Treatment for the RM62 Million Jana Wibawa Project

KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd was not afforded any special treatment regarding its RM62 million Jana Wibawa project, according to the Public Works Department (JKR) Negeri Sembilan director, Datuk Wan Hasnan Wan Musa. Payments and project extensions were handled according to established procedures, with no undue influence from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) or other government entities. Wan Hasnan, serving as the contract administrator, confirmed that the contractor received "normal treatment" throughout the project's lifecycle.
Project Award and Payments Followed Standard Procedures

The contract for the new road construction from Felda Bukit Jalor to Gemas, Negeri Sembilan, was awarded to KCJ Engineering Sdn Bhd on July 30, 2021. Between March 2022 and February 2023, the government disbursed over RM24.3 million to the company. This amount included progress payments based on completed work and an advance payment of RM10 million. The advance payment was within the stipulated limit of 25% or a maximum of RM10 million for government projects overseen by JKR, provided the department had the necessary allocation.
Project Extension Granted for Valid Reasons

JKR granted KCJ Engineering an extension of time for the project, pushing the completion deadline to the end of July. This decision was based on valid justifications, including additions to the project's scope of work. Wan Hasnan affirmed that the granting of this extension was not subject to interference and was a necessary adjustment due to the evolving project requirements.
No Special Contractual Terms or Project Issues

Wan Hasnan confirmed that KCJ Engineering's contract for the RM62 million project did not include any special terms or conditions. He further stated that all work completed to date adhered to JKR's specifications, and the project was not categorised as a "sick project." The contract remained active and had not been terminated due to issues such as corruption or illegal activities, indicating that the project was progressing as expected under normal contractual management.
