“failure to follow BOMBA requirement”…
Yeah, it was came out and quoted by Pengarah Bomba Negeri Terengganu, Pauzan Ahmad that the failures of Giant Hypermarket to be opened at Mesra Mall, Kemasik is due to the BOMBA requirement which yet to be full-filled. (see this, taken from Malaysiakini)
Ohhh… after so long, that was it… small reason/matter for me compared to the losing by Giant in this one-month period. BUT it’s quite funny due to several reason below :
- Giant Failed to follow the requirement after established so many stores Malaysia-wide.According to their website, The chain currently comprises of more than 90 Giant hypermarkets and supermarkets in all major towns and suburbs.
- If the BOMBA problem, then the developer also has to play a part on this and not only the Giant.
- How can Architect/ID for the project failed to adhere to BOMBA requirement (i believe Suria KLCC or Giant has appointed the good one)
- From my experience during my uni. day (study UBBL) and dealing with By-Laws, the requirement for such a Big Public Area but with single storey structure are less difficult and i believe the owner will not compromised compared to ‘mati ca’cang’ for not been able to operate in a month period.
- Giant will not dare to put everyhing in the racks or shelves and ready to be opened anytime if they are yet to fill statutory requirement.
and the above list could be continued if we wanted to think negatively… like how can others can be operated, not Giant, KLCC is such a big developer and will not do this ( to go short-cut by failing to follow requirement) and so on…
So, as one of the Kerteh folks, let hope that this matter would be resolved by all parties for GOOD. InsyaAllah
