Bank Negara says H & I Niaga qualifies

BANK Negara (Central Reserve Bank) said the decision to award the tender to build the Financial Services Resources Centre was based on the most competitive bid.

In a statement, the central bank said the criteria included the tender price, track record, financial capability, quality, and technical and commercial capabilities of the team that was put together to complete the project. All tenders were reviewed to determine the most competitive bid and the company selected, H & I Niaga Sdn Bhd, is qualified to complete the project within Bank Negara's specifications, it said.

It said the construction will begin in November for completion within two years. “Bank Negara upholds the highest standards of governance in our conduct and we view seriously recent media reports regarding the award for the construction of the centre,” it said. The award of the RM320mil contract to the low profile H & I Niaga surprised some parties as it beat many well-known groups such as Ranhill Bhd.

According to recent reports, H & I Niaga, a class A contractor, had failed to file accounts for the financial years 2002, 2003 and 2004. It last submitted accounts for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2001, which showed that its net profit was RM14,500. – Bernama

Sometimes I read a few newspaper articles that are so concise, yet so "informative", just like the one above. How can the country's Central Bank may had reviewed all of the other tenders, before coming to the decision of giving the tender opportunity to H & I Niaga, yet H & I Niaga did not comply to the law. Will it be other tenders did not submit their accounts since year 2000? What? How? Why?

Jack, a shrewd businessman, talks to his son:

Jack: "I want you to marry a girl of my choice."
Son : "I will choose my own bride".

Finally Jack goes to see the president of the World Bank.

Congrats Wesley and Evienne!

8th of October is a good day to get married. In the morning when I got to work near KLCC I could see a groom driving a Merc SLK convertible with his newly wed chick beside passed thru my car to Mandarin Oriental. In the evening, attended the greatest day of Mr. Wesley and Evienne Teo - they finally tie their knots at age of er.. 24! Venue was Holiday Inn, Glenmarie.



Bridegroom giving speech.. Fuuh a very handsome photographer, according to most girls there


The champagne pouring session


Kampaiiii! Siew Kong also there!

I met with alot of my Taylor College mates, and even a school mate. He's currently doing good in IT business and how he met Wesley? - In modifying cars business. I missed out the opportunity to see what sort of sports car is he driving now.

The crowd on that day was average, but the spirit was more than ever. Unlike "mature" generations of rather keeping the party as "professional" as possible, the people who attended the wedding was rather very active indeed. Cheering sessions on everytime were so disturbing, that I had to pause in the middle of conversation with my friend for them to pass, most of them lasted more than 20 seconds.

I guess they are one of the fastest Chinese couples here in Malaysia to get married. As for me, I have no idea or not even dreamt of being married until I'm 30 over. How about you?
