Immediate improvement measures are therefore needed to achieve the expenditure target of 55%,\u201d he said in a statement issued by Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier, while chairing the Ministry Development Action Committee (JTPK) meeting at UUM in Sintok, he said all allocated funds must be spent according to the prescribed schedule.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He added that strong project implementation performance would form the basis for the government\u2019s confidence in continuing to allocate development funding in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll agencies must expedite the implementation of projects under Rolling Plan 5 (RP5) of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), as there are still 24 projects in the pre-implementation stage as of July 17,\u201d Aminuddin said, adding that project documentation should be completed as soon as possible to enable Letters of Acceptance (LOA) to be issued this year, while ensuring that project progress is consistently updated through the MyProject system to accurately reflect on-the-ground conditions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, he said MOHE will realign this year\u2019s development allocations by reallocating surplus funds that are not expected to be utilised to projects requiring additional funding and capable of spending the allocations within the stipulated timeframe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTo strengthen project governance, MOHE is also introducing several new measures for the management of ageing facilities projects, including cancelling projects that have received a Letter of Approval for Reallocation (SKTP) but have yet to be advertised or remain at the early procurement stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe management of MOHE\u2019s physical projects under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) will be driven by three key construction technology pillars: the Industrialised Building System (IBS), Pre-Approved Plan (PAP), and Building Information Modeling (BIM),\u201d he said, as such an approach would accelerate project implementation, improve construction quality, standardise designs, and reduce costs and delays through the use of digital technology and industrialised building components.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAll MOHE development projects worth RM100 million and above are required to achieve a minimum IBS score of 70%, while the use of PAP for standard academic buildings, residential colleges, and computer laboratories, as well as the implementation of BIM, is now mandatory for government projects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/address><\/div>\n<pre><i>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/thesun.my\/news\/malaysia-news\/mohe-urges-faster-project-delivery-for-higher-education\/\">https:\/\/thesun.my\/news\/malaysia-news\/mohe-urges-faster-project-delivery-for-higher-education\/<\/a><\/i><\/pre>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) is urging all its agencies to accelerate development projects after expenditure hit only 40.88%, falling below the national average.
