| Kepong Bridge Is Falling Down
Kepong Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
Kepong Bridge is falling down,
My fair Samy,
Take a gag and shut us up,
Shut us up, shut us up,
Take a gag and shut us up,
My fair Samy,
How will we build it up,
Build it up, build it up?
How will we build it up again,
My fair Samy?
Build it up with tax and toll,
Tax and toll, tax and toll,
Build it up with tax and toll,
My fair Samy,
Roads and bridges bend and break,
Bend and break, bend and break,
Roads and bridges bend and break,
My fair Samy,
Blame it on an Act of God,
Act of God, Act of God,
Blame it on an Act of God,
My fair Samy,
Rocks and blames will wash away,
Wash away, wash away,
Rocks and blames will wash away,
My fair Samy

KUALA LUMPUR 11 Ogos - Badan Pencegah Rasuah (BPR) sedia menyiasat dan mengambil tindakan undang-undang sekiranya terdapat laporan berlakunya penyelewengan dalam projek pembinaan Lebuh Raya Lingkaran Tengah 2 (MRR2) bagi laluan Kepong, yang ditutup sejak Ahad lalu untuk kerja pembaikan.
Works Minister S Samy Vellu draws a swift response, throwing a dare with a veiled threat. Via Bernama:
"Our office is always open to the ACA, come in and take the relevant files if you want to investigate the MRR II. We have nothing to hide." [...]
"Let the ACA investigate...but until then we will stop work. We will not be opening the road in three months.
"Whoever wants to report, please report to the ACA. Want to report to the police, please go ahead and report to the police. We will not stop anyone," he added.
The Kepong stretch of the MRR2 had to be closed after it was found that 31 out of the 33 beams supporting the elevated road were defective and repair works would cost a whopping RM20 million and take three months to complete.
Damn, looks like I have to take the long way to get to Hospital Selayang for my upcoming baby's birth. (Penchala Link and Jln Kuching, perhaps?) Hope I'll get there in time. And seems there is nobody more qualified in Malaysia than you-know-who himself to make a decision? Are threats allowable, or does it show there are too many skeletons in the cupboard? Hot heads hanging tough? Well, I say good luck to the ACA. I won't hold my breath.
Been in the M&E field during my previous employment with my former company, every M&E engineer should know that there are some brief explanation about the damaged pillars being used as gantry points during the lifting of the piers. As that is so and these were not designed to withstand such stresses, how did the supervising engineers approve such a loading to be imposed on something that was meant to be part of the structure?
Yes, the ACA should be called in to investigate. There is a hint of hanky-panky here that has already caused much inconvenience to the public.
They should also check the delay on why the road was not closed earlier. And if the Minister insists that nothing will be done to repair, he should be suspended while the probe is being carried out.
People who have something to hide will almost always ask others to have a look for themselves.
Reminds me of my schoolboy days when the teacher would catch me redhanded doing something naughty and I would pull out my pockets to show that they were empty and turn over my palms to show that I "really" had nothing to hide.
Funny.
