MY Career with Putrajaya















I






























I worked with Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd at www.pjh.com.my from 2001 to 2004 as an Assistant Manager. I was reporting to a Project Manager, En Shaharom Ramlan who was seconded from KLCC Projek Sdn Bhd, a Project Management Consultant. He had been working on Putrajaya since 1998 when the mega project was initiated by the former Prime Minister, Dr MahathirMohamad .

Putrajaya Holdings Sdn Bhd is a development arm of Petronas Berhad, a major developer of a new government administrative center of Malaysia, Putrajaya. This is where the Prime Minister's Office and other main government offices are located. The residence of Prime Minister of Malaysia and his deputy are also built within the radius. Total estimated cost of RM18 billion, some of the projects are still under construction.

When I joined PjH, almost 15% of the whole development had been completed. Under the Government Building Department headed by Puan Elina Abd. Aziz, the team mainly concentrated on the core island. During the time, the man made lake had not been commissioned. The construction was massive. All the underground services were also under construction. We had to deal with other departments mainly, Infrastructural, CUC, GDC, LRT, JBA, Telekom, TNB for coordination purposes. Not forgetting interfacing with other main contractors at the same time.

The contract was under Design and Build awarded to a main contractor, WCT Engineering Sdn Bhd.
