KUCHING (Oct 23): Both PPES Works (Sarawak) Sdn Bhd (PPES) and NAIM Land Sdn Bhd (NAIM) have clarified that they were not involved in the construction of the Darul Hana musical fountain on the Sarawak River in front of Sarawak's Dewan Undangan Negeri building, as mentioned in recent media reports.
“We would like to thank the media and PKR Representative See Chee How for their fiscal diligence in questioning projects, who combined with enforcement agencies like MACC [Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission] and the Auditor-General, serve as a public check-and-balance to prominent projects.
"However, we would also like to strenuously make note that neither PPES nor NAIM had any involvement in the scope of work to build nor construct the musical fountain," the companies said in a joint press release today.
They added that none of the alleged RM31 million invested in the fountain was payable to PPES nor Naim..
To recap, PKR's See Chee How, the assemblyman for Batu Lintang, had last week asked Sarawak Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg why it cost so much to develop the fountain opposite the already-grand state assembly building and had urged for an investigation by the MACC into the edifice.
