New Straits Times Tuesday, Jul 17, 2012 ALOR STAR - A 20-year-old contractor has won a RM1.4 million Federal Government infrastructure project through an open tender system. The mill-and-pave project for the Grik-Kupang road in Kulim was the biggest job among six contracts vied by 133 contractors in the state. Muhammad Muhaddis Ahmad Fatahi never expected to win the road job, which he described as a "windfall". "Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I could win a big job like this. As small contractors, we are grateful to the government for giving us the opportunity to contribute towards the country's construction industry. "With the new open tender system, small contractors stand a better chance to secure government projects," said Muhaddis, who is United Charisma Sdn Bhd director, after securing the contract yesterday. The balloting, witnessed by Works Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor, was held at Wisma Persekutuan. It was the first balloting held for Class D and E contractors. The contractors themselves drew the ballot papers. Shaziman said previously, projects for the two classes of contractors were given to government-appointed concessionaires. "We have decided to open it for balloting after hearing out the contractors' requests." Shaziman also said there were 204 maintenance jobs worth RM37 million available for small contractors in the peninsula. Shaziman said his ministry and the Malay contractors association would closely monitor the performance of contractors.

Just to have a check with the forummers here.. 1. Do you ever think working as an employee can get you the riches of driving supercars and live an upper class society's lifestyle? 2. How much of your salary do you give your parents? Percentage or absolute figures are most welcome. Just to clarify, Im not trying to rope anyone into my business or what.. But just trying to seek public opinions. What keeps me going is the day whereby I can call a ferrari or lambo my own. This might sound a bit off but o well, my dream/target With regards to second question, how much do you give your parents monthly/weekly? Rationale being my business has finally gotten off and I feel my parents deserve something from it
