PETALING JAYA: A huge sign on the control tower of KLIA2 in Sepang proudly proclaims that it was constructed “in 10 months”. However, the contractors apparently forgot about the rest of the project.(Which was stated in The Star News Paper).The construction which delayed five times,finally theMalaysianAirport Holdings Berhad(MAHD)  had announced the opening date of KLIA2 on May 2,2014.Apparently only 60% of the main construction of the building have been completed.The construction which only started with RM1.9bil,now it already  touched RM4bil.

Figure 1.1 A news from the Star News paper about KLIA2 Delay

MAHB accused Air Asia,the main airline for KLIA2,which early of June 2011 praised to citing 45million passenger a year where early planned is only 30million passenger.MAHB also stated that there is also a last minute planning to shift from a semi-automated to a completely-automated baggage management system.Due to the some minor-minor reason, it affected the construction works and delay of KLIA2.UEM-Bina Puri joint also a main contractor for KLIA2,where they blaming eah other for the delay.

If I am the Minister of Transport,i will spend more time to make sure the construction working is going well without any destruction.I will bring more workers so that the works all can be finish on time.I also will give salary on time without any delay so that they will do work efficiently.
There are few benefit by finishing construction as fast as we can because KLIA2 will accommodate nearly 70 aircraft it its air terminal parking bay with newly designed departure gates.KLIA2  will make this international airport even busier in the years to come. KLIA2 is a place for everyone. That means ensuring comfort and convenience for those with extra needs.

  1. Hi,I agree that the KLIA2 construction is very much delayed and that the responsible authorities should make decisions instead of blaming to each other as KLIA2 would be the next biggest attraction in our country.

  3. Mei Kuan, since you mentioned that money spent has reached 4 billion, so I think you have to spend more time on the financial department to check whether there is any problem on it or not. Besides this, it is not necessarily to bring more workers but you have to make sure that all the working schedule is going well without any delay. Thanks... =)

  4. I agree with your opinion. But have you ever thought of physical factors that could cause the delay? Physical factors that we cannot avoid such as rainy weather that could damage the cement.

    1. Thank you for your comment.:) Weather is really not a problem in Malaysia because we do know the rainy season and hot season. We do have weather forecast to predict the weather and precaution will be taken to avoid delay.
