Govt Allocates RM5.8
Billion For Staff Quarters In Putrajaya
PUTRAJAYA, April 8 (Bernama) -- The
government has allocated RM5.8 bilion to build more than 23,000 units of staff
quarters for civil servants working in the federal government's administrative
capital here.Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Mohd Sidek Hassan said
the quarters would be ready by 2010 and placed under the jurisdiction of the
property management division (BPH) of the Prime Minister's Department."So far,
11,213 units, costing about RM3.7 billion, are ready and most have been
occupied. Another 12,073 units are scheduled for completion by 2010," he said at
a meeting with community leaders at the Putrajaya Quarters here Monday.At the
function, he also launched the BPH Strategic Plan for 2008-2010 to improve the
quality of life of residents at its quarters in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, the
KL International Airport, Nilai in Negeri Sembilan, Tanjung Kupang in Johor and
Labuan.Mohd Sidek said BPH spent RM4.7 million on maintenance of its quarters
last year.He called on the residents to help reduce the cost.On a circular which
revokes the eligibility of civil servants from occupying government quarters if
they owned houses within 25km radius from their workplace, Mohd Sidek said they
could continue to stay at government quarters if they were willing to pay twice
the fee.The circular took effect on April 1."The higher fee should not be an
issue considering that facilities like schools, community centres, recreation
centres and so on are provided in the area," he added.-- BERNAMA
They never learn, do they......?
Just some quick calculations:
1. RM5.8bil = RM 5,800,000,000 (notice how many zeros there is - kosong manyak mahal lo..),
divided by 23,000 units = RM252,173.91 per unit.
2. The completed ones of 11,213 units at the cost of RM3.7bil = RM329,974.14????????
Reasonable? Well you can see for yourself the kind of accomodation the government provides for our civil servants - take a trip to Putrajaya. Is it reasonable? Judge for yourselves.....

nothing against the govt servants ... but what about us? their salary went up, price of goods also went up ... and we have to pay the price for that too ...
aren't we also contributing to the growth (or lack of) of the nation?
perhaps more than they do.
we work harder, and we have to pay more for that ...
