My workers finished concreting the 3rd Floor beams today. What is left of the RC structure is the Roof beams. As the building gets higher, the progress per floor gets slower. This is because the workers have to be more cautious in moving around and take a longer time to transport the materials upwards. I targeted 8 days to complete the roof beams which means that concreting will be on 13th January 2009. Tomorrow the workers will begin to strip the side formworks followed by the column formworks.
Today, I had a hectic day helping up in the bye-election. The Chinese in Kuala Terengganu received their 'ang pows' from the State Government ranging RM200 to RM400. Single mothers, the handicaps and senior citizens got their share of the 'ang pows'. School-going childeren whose parents earn less than RM1,200 also get money to buy their uniforms. Each family got RM100. The Chinese though a minority is a priveilege lot. They are getting what the Malays got, nothing less.
Tomorrow is nomination day for the Kuala Terengganu Parliamentary seats (P036) and all the big guns, both from the Barisan (UMNO, MCA, MIC and Gerakan) and PR, are in town. The town is already packed with outsiders and a majority of them are the police personnels deployed to take charge of the security. There are 3 big temporary camps built in various part of town to accomodate these police personnels. It will be an interesting week ahead and be on the lookout for more exciting news on the bye-election.
