There are many things we can learn from China - for e.g., how not to build highways. Corporate M'sia's quest for more highways, perhaps, can learn a thing or two from the world's no#2 superpower. What really is wrong in China's highway / bridge-making process?
Also, for M'sia's highway - most information is classified, for e.g. price/ km, Technical documentation (EIA, SIA, TIA, etc), including financial analysis documentation. The lack of "Due process", "Process Governance" is really alarming. What is M'sia incorporated going to do about this, if we really are to become 'world class' ? This is necessary food for thought.
Many people think that "made in china" stands for inferior quality, so let's dig deeper for the causes.
In the five years from 2007 to 2012, a total of 37 bridges collapsed in China, including 13 bridges under construction, which killed 182 people and injured 177, an average of 7.4 "deadly bridges" per year.
Ancient buildings are strong and can last long, but nowadays in China buildings are like tofu. Why?
