Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd : He Ain't Heavy, he is my brother

is the stand out classic, evergreen that was released in 1969 by the Hollies, with a little help from an unknown at that time called Elton John on piano. The single would top the chart 19 years latter in 1988.

MY brother asked me what the hell is going on, it is absolutely nonsense that six littoral combat ships, that should have cost RM6 billion, now will cost RM9 billion, but we will only get five ships instead.

SOMETHING is rotten withour defense ministry he screamed. IS there something rotten ie corruption in the littoral ship contract? I really don't know nor will I pretend to know.

BUT i do know something :

The road is long

With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where

 Who knows where

WHAT does all of this mean, you may ask. Well you see one of the major problems we have with the non delivery of the ships is because we have hired the wrong set of people to over see the programme.

MEET READ : Jal Shahzidi Bassari, the Littoral Mission Ship Director, whoes highest qualification is a Diploma In Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.

AND you guys are wondering why we don't get any ship that is sea ready even after extra time is given? A Diploma holder is in charge of a RM9 billion project. He might be a very good manager, but technically he is way beyond his pay grade to be serving in such a capacity.
