All State Government projects costing RM50 million and above will be overseen by the federal government with immediate effect.
This is to prevent building flaws such as those affecting several sports facilities in Kuala Terengganu recently.
Earlier this month, the Works Ministry closed the Aquatic Centre in Batu Burok due to building flaws. In June it closed the Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium in Gong Badak after its roof collapsed.
Public Works Department (PWD) director-general Datuk Seri Dr Judin Abdul Karim said although problems had cropped up in the building stage of the Aquatic Centre, causing the project to be delayed by about five months, the federal PWD was not notified.
