Thoughts and observations on QLASSIC… I&P Group Sdn. Berhad Dato’ Ir. Jamaludin Osman Group Managing Director Embarking on QLASSIC We embarked on QLASSIC in 2008 as we recognised that it is one of the tools to gauge the quality of workmanship of our products.

NAZA TTDI SDB BHD Megat Roslan Abdul Rahman Chief Development Officer Perbadanan Kemajuan Negeri Selangor (PKNS) Ir. Hj. Abdul Ghani Hashim Deputy General Manager We introduced an incentive programme to contractors for all our projects. We now have imposed penalties to show that we are serious about our quality. So, if the contractors do not achieve our minimum target, they will be penalised. QLASSIC made mandatory? Of course it should be made mandatory, if only for the sake of the end-users. The developer has to be responsible and profesional in constructing quality products before handing over the keys to purchasers.
