Extra Landfill.

How many lorry load? Estimate please.

.

The extra landfill at KRU New Mosque construction site had been transferred to the Kampong Graveyard reserve plot.

.

This is how the story started:

Way back in August 2003 the New Mosque Development Committee decided to landfill the approved site of the New Mosque so that those who willingly contribute can share Allah blessing in cooperation of building a Mosque. “Allah will provide a similar House in Paradise to those who assist in building a Mosque”. Quotation was called and all Committee Members including yours truly agreed to the chosen.

.

1000 lorries @ RM 115 were agreed, inclusive of land clearing, culvert, Checker, supervision and levelling.

Sometimes in October 2003 the quotation was disputed and alleged that the quantity of landfill per lorry was below specification and the costing per lorry was unreasonable. 769 lorries were delivered at RM 115 per lorry and the balance of 231 lorries were negotiated to RM 100 per lorry. Payment to the Supplier was interrupted as one of the signatories refused authentication. Decision had to be made as Aidilfitri was around the corner and the Supplier pledged to donate to the Mosque certain percentage of the profit. The service of the so call gentleman who refused to sign the check payment was replaced.

.

Somehow.......one Contractor could come out with RM 65 per lorry including levelling. What about land clearing? That make one party suspicious of the other and...............

....................That’s how the WAR started in Kampong Raja Uda. Personal vendetta play the role where B going after A throat. Two camps emerged in the Kampong and the chaotic exist up to this date. Vengeance is the evil of Satan.

Now the New Mosque is nearing completion and with the grace of Allah the Contractor found out that the landfill is now in excess. The best option is to transfer the extra to the Graveyard reserve plot so that those who contributed (sedekah) on the New Mosque landfill would continue be blessed by Allah on their good deed.

Is it worth the dispute?

Allah is Great……. Allah Hu Akbar!!!!
