In response on the issues raised by the Appointed Members, Yang Berhormat Pehin Datu Lailaraja Retired Major General Dato Paduka Seri Awang Haji Halbi bin Haji Mohd. Yussof, Minister at the Prime Minister's Office and Second Minister of Defence, among others, explained the implementation of electrical system projects under the Department of Electrical Services, which showed that around 50 percent of the projects had been completed or are at a significant progress stage within the two-year period of the NDP 12 implementation.
According to Yang Berhormat, the Department of Electrical Services has also introduced a reform to the contracting strategy, namely contract bundling. Contract bundling is a procurement approach where identified projects are combined and offered as a package under one overall price. This is intended to attract the participation of contractors who have more extensive experience with a good reputation in terms of effective implementation and compliance with project timelines.
