Isn't it just a change of name with no change of cost nature to Malaysia public?

Open tender guarantee no corruption? Just for academic argument purpose, is it possible and workable for person in charge of open tender to invite capable persons or companies to submit tender and at the same time verbally advise tenderer to jack up tender value for kickback / commission purpose? Even if open tender in charge remained "straight" would that stop tenderer to voluntarily offer kickback if it had become unspoken "nation culture"?

 Should we welcome such plan with open-arm when we witnessed PH government continued with religion-oriented concept for ulu and rural government schools and teachers have been overloaded with daily paper work? When we have no idea how it is going to implement such idea we feel uneasy how the students going to cope with such sudden change for better or worse.

Feasible for ulu and rural schools when they could not get decent normal school facilities maintenance? Electricity supply to some schools is luxury, right?
