A few days ago I have a chat with a professor of FM.He told me that in the whole life cycle costing of a facility(eg: offices,hospitals etc) the design and construction cost is only about 22% and the rest comes later in the cost of operations and maintenance of the facilities.When I asked him which country is leading the world in this industry,he replied Holland!I also knew Holland is one of the major exporters of world chocolate and yet she does not even have a single cocoa plant!Looking back to 500 years ago,now I think I know why Holland could colonised Indonesia more than 400 years!
Looking back to my beloved country Malaysia,the good professor told me we are 15 years behind in FM.The professor asked me what I am doing and I told him I am in project management(PM) business.Showing some figures to me which I could not reveal here,I know where the money will be in the next 10 years.Now,I have another reason to go to Amsterdam-not only to cycle with my friend Guus but also to learn more about FM.
Billions of ringgits were spent on our infrastructure but are we doing the right FM for these national assets?Below is a nice bridge I love to photograph at Putrajaya.How do you FM this bridge and many more?
Assalamualaikum, Pak Adib.
Saya bersetuju dengan pandangan rakan Pak Adib kerana dalam pengamatan saya, pembangunan fizikal kita adalah bagus cuma FMnya pada tahap biasa sahaja. Rasa - rasanya itulah yang Pak Lah maksudkan 'First World Infra, 3rd World Mentality '. Kerana fokus untuk membina, apa yang terjadi selepas siap dibina tidak dipedulikan.
