  "account": "Six projects under the Malaysian Design 12 (RMK12) design have faced issues with implementation, according to the Auditor General's Report 2/2026. These projects include the completion of two Royal Family Family House (RKAT) construction projects, the raising of Galeria Perdana gallery in Langkawi, and three housing and police barracks projects in Sabah. The Royal Family Family House project in Tawau, Sabah, which was originally expected to be completed by July 2024, only reached 28% physical progress by December 2024 and was ultimately completed on May 23, 2025, after being delayed by two EOTs totaling 418 days due to financial management shortcomings of the contractor and failure to perform work diligently, leading to activity cessation on site. As of July 30, 2026, the JKR has provided tender documents for contractor selection, while the RM3.90 million cost increase for the project was approved by the Ministry of Economy on August 6, 2026. Meanwhile, the RKAT Labuan project, valued at RM63.25 million, faced four EOTs over 467 days in 2025 and two additional EOTs over 410 days in 2026, with a new preparation date set for November 17, 2026. The physical progress of this project only reached 51% by July 30, 2026, compared to 54% as per the schedule, with delays attributed to a shortage of skilled workers and raw materials that needed to be imported from outside Labuan. The Galeria Perdana gallery in Langkawi, valued at RM20.40 million, had its contract completed on September 23, 2024, after four EOTs totaling 192 days, with accumulated LAD (Late Administration Deduction) of RM440,000 for a 136-day delay. The audit findings revealed that the project was handed over to JKR in January 2025 for further action, and the cost estimate for the project resurfaced by RM36 million to RM56.40 million, with tendering for contractor selection expected in February 2027. For the People's Housing Program (PPR) Kampung Selagon in Beaufort, valued at RM23.70 million, which involved 67 houses completed in 2017, all units remain unoccupied as of July 2026 due to damage caused by land movement. All 13 severely damaged houses underwent demolition and reconstruction, and repairs to five houses were also completed on March 11, 2025, after the physical progress only reached 15%. The Semporna Police Station and Fire Station reconstruction project, valued at RM14.39 million, was completed on March 11, 2025, after five EOTs totaling 1,164 days were given, with work progress at 25% and RM2.83 million spent. According to the LKN, the project was completed due to financial inability of the contractor, failure to perform work according to schedule, and management and monitoring shortcomings, while a new tender was advertised in June 2026 and the project is now in the tender assessment stage. The Police Station and Fire Station Merotai project, valued at RM6.85 million, was completed on November 5, 2025, despite physical progress reaching 96.6% after seven EOTs totaling 1,075 days were given. The Auditor General advises the ministry and involved agencies to take immediate action to ensure the project can be completed so that the development objective can be achieved and the benefits of the project can be enjoyed by the public.",
