MALACCA: The contractor for the second phase of the Malacca River development and beautification project, here, has been urged to stick to the dates set for the project's completion.

Chief Minister Datuk Wira Idris Haron said after carrying out checks on the progress of the project, it appeared to be behind schedule.

"The project is expected to be completed by 2015, but judging by what has been completed so far, the project may not be completed on time, which is disappointing.

"I have asked the contractor to increase productivity while adhering to proper health and safety protocols," he said. Idris said he had observed that waste materials from the project had not been disposed of correctly, while the sewage flow was haphazard and not managed properly, which he expected the contractor to rectify as soon as possible.
