ANSWER​

Yang Berhormat Menteri Pembangunan​

Thank you Yang Berhormat Yang Di-Pertua. Thank you as well to Yang Berhormat Awang Lau How Teck for the question regarding the need to review a centralised and smart public facility management system, particularly in addressing the issue of maintenance of roads, drains and public buildings which often become the focus of public complaints.

For information, at present, the management and maintenance of public facilities are carried out according to the jurisdiction of each respective ministry and agency. Each ministry has an internal asset management structure responsible for the maintenance of infrastructure under their supervision.

Under the Ministry of Development, the Public Works Department plays the main role in managing the maintenance of public infrastructure such as roads, water service systems, drainage and sanitation. The implementation of these works is carried out through term contracts that have been comprehensively arranged. Each contract is supported by comprehensive Bill of Quantities documents to ensure maintenance works are carried out systematically, in accordance with technical standards, and based on actual priorities on the ground.

The Ministry also takes a continuous approach in evaluating the effectiveness of the existing system, as well as identifying areas for improvement including towards more strategic coordination between ministries and agencies. In the long term, the Ministry will examine management mechanisms that are more integrative and technology-driven in nature in order to improve the level of efficiency, transparency and effectiveness of public facility maintenance.

This effort also includes strengthening the responsibility of owners and occupants towards the maintenance of infrastructure in their respective areas, so that the overall public environment remains safe, functional and sustainable for the well-being of the public.

Yang Berhormat Yang Di-Pertua. That is all the answer that Kaola is able to convey in answering the question from Yang Berhormat Awang Lau How Teck. Thank you.
