The Seef Flyover, Manama, Bahrain – RM100 million, The Kuching Flyover – More than RM 200 million – Why?
The differences are –
The Seef Flyover, Manama, Bahrain was built by WCT Engineering Bhd. from west Malaysia.
The Kuching Flyover was built by Global Upline Sdn Bhd.
You can see the difference in quality also. The Seef Flyover is of international standard, whereas the Kuching Flyover is on a much lower standard.
Why did it cost so much more to build the Kuching Flyover?
Abdullah Badawi has to explain. Our Dear Samy Vellu will also have to explain.
There is no other better day for him to explain other than his wedding day today!
