| description | Issues affecting the Malaysian construction industry are not only multifarious but
also complex. To remain focus this paper will discuss issues pertaining to the
construction industry in the context of its development, the raison d’etre of the
Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) when established by
parliamentary statute in 1994.
CIDB began operations in earnest beginning 1996. The need to establish a
statutory body to manage development of the construction industry was mooted
in the wake of numerous accidents and quality deficiencies in the construction
industry, amongst which included the infamous collapse of the Highland Towers,
the landslide at Gua Tempurung, and the many grouses voiced by a large
segment of dissatisfied final-purchasers of the construction industry product. |
