Ex-minister Kok questions need for RM100 mil rubber technology centre

Former primary industries minister Teresa Kok says Malaysia already has fully operational rubber research centres locally and in England.
PETALING JAYA: Former primary industries minister Teresa Kok has raised concern over the decision by the Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB) to build a RM100 million rubber technology centre (RTC), which she said may turn into a white elephant, similar to a previous project by MRB.
Kok said the speed in which the RTC was announced raised questions as to whether proper studies had been done before they were approved by the board.
In a statement today, she said studies would take more than one year at least.
“I am sure the board could not have done all the necessary studies to justify spending RM100 million for the RTC in such a short time,” she said, asking whether fiduciary and finance ministry procedures had been followed.
Kok said MRB chairman Ahmad Nazlan Idris, who announced the project, was only appointed about a month ago but “appeared to have worked at warp speed” to have obtained the necessary approvals for the project in his parliamentary constituency, Jerantut.
She feared the RTC would end like a previous project announced by former MRB chairman Ahmad Hamzah in his constituency in Jasin, Melaka, which cost RM44 million and remained uncompleted.
Saying they were “unwarranted and wasteful” projects sanctioned under the guise of so-called model rubber technology, she urged Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to explain if he was aware of the project, especially at a time when public funds should be prudently utilised.
Kok said Malaysia already had fully operational rubber technology and research centres in Sungai Buloh (formerly the Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia) and the Tun Abdul Razak Research Centre in England and in Kota Tinggi, Johor Bahru.
“It will be better for Ahmad Nazlan to look into the need to upgrade the existing research facilities in Sungai Buloh and boost their manpower and expertise to advance new innovations.
“The MRB owns huge tracts of land in Sungai Buloh and other parts of the Klang Valley to be able to achieve this. There is no need to build an RTC in Jerantut or anywhere for now – unless there is a clear political reason for its location – and there is little or no basis to justify its actual need,” she added.
betul ke RM100 juta untuk technology center tu je?

Pusat Teknologi Getah Wilayah Timur RM100 juta di Jerantut
JERANTUT: Lembaga Getah Malaysia (LGM) akan membina sebuah Pusat Teknologi Getah Wilayah Timur yang menelan kos kira kira RM100 juta di daerah Jerantut, tahun ini.
Pengerusi LGM, Datuk Ahmad Nazlan Idris, berkata pusat penyelidikan canggih itu juga akan menjadi produk pelancongan baharu di daerah itu yang turut dikenali sebagai Bandar Taman Negara.
"Selain itu, kita juga akan membuka ladang getah yang baharu seluas 2,000 ekar sekali gus dapat menjana ekonomi penduduk setempat," katanya selepas menyampaikan sumbangan kepada anak yatim dan orang kelainan upaya ( OKU) di kampung Perian di sini, hari ini.
Pusat penyelidikan itu akan membuat pelbagai kajian mengenai getah termasuk klon terbaru getah, produk hiliran getah, dan pelbagai lagi potensi getah termasuk dalam bidang makanan.
Ahmad Nazlan berkata, pihaknya sudah mengadakan perbincangan dengan Menteri Besar Pahang, Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail baru-baru ini mengenai projek itu selain untuk mendapat tanah yang sesuai dan berharap ia dapat direalisasikan.
Ahmad Nazlan yang juga Ahli Parlimen Jerantut berkata pada dasarnya kerajaan negeri sudah bersetuju untuk membangunkan projek berkenaan di daerah ini dan bersetuju menyediakan tapak yang sesuai.
Projek ini akan dibina di kawasan Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Tahan sejajar rancangan untuk menjadikan pusat teknologi getah itu sebagai produk agro pelancongan.

Dia sebut white elephant sebab dah jadi pada 2010. Under lgm juga n bina di jasin. Sehingga 2014 masih xsiap dan hingga kini tidak menyumbangkan hasil sebagaimana yang dikehendaki.
100 juta tu memang duit lgm. Yg akan dapat kontrak tu nanti sudah tentu bukan lgm sendiri sebaliknya kontraktor lah. Kontraktor tu kroni ke bukan wallah hu alam. Open tender ke direct nego belum diketahui.
ni aku quote dari yg atas nun:. Mungkin dah ada kajian, mungkin tak, ontahlah pakcikkk:
