Dato’ Sri Judin and CIDB partners launching the International Construction Week 2014
For quality of the construction particularly the
housing sector, is there any new strategy to
improve it. How effective is QLASSIC?
QLASSIC is an effective tool to assess and track
workmanship of contractors for buildings. We plan
to facilitate adoption of QLASSIC and make it one
of the standard ways of measuring performance.
For example, QLASSIC information can be
provided in sales and purchase agreements for
consumers to know the quality of the buildings/
houses they purchase; QLASSIC scores can also,
be part of assessing applications for contractor
financing and that can potentially lead to better
interest rates for those with high scores. Overall,
we are increasing the transparency on contractors'
performance for the benefit of consumers and the
public, so that they understand their full rights to
receive higher quality housing.
For the 11th Malaysian Plan (2016-2020) which
will end on the target date that Malaysia aspires
to be a developed a nation, will there be any
input from CIDB for the above five-year plan.
CITP is very much aligned with the 11th Malaysia
Plan (RMK11). CITP will run in parallel with this
Malaysian Plan, and contribute to achieving
several of RMK 11 priorities.
As part of CITP, we will be
supporting such expansion
overseas especially, in
markets which we will
prioritise where Malaysian
companies will have
opportunities to grow.
