Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap has withheld payment to the contractor working on the Rural Transformation Programme (RTP) project at Lorong Sungai Tapang 4, Kuching, until the works meet the required standards. Yap, who inspected the site alongside MPP officers, found several works to be unsatisfactory and non-compliant with the approved scope of works and Bill of Quantities (BQ).
He emphasized that public funds must be spent responsibly and that projects funded under RTP must adhere to the approved specifications and standards. Yap instructed MPP to ensure payment is not released until outstanding works are rectified and the project fully complies with contractual requirements. He stressed accountability, promising to monitor RTP projects on the ground and work closely with implementing agencies to address residents' concerns.
