The Fennel comes with semi furnish such as kitchen cabinet, wardrobe, aircond or just bare unit?

doubt that dibs still applicable. The banned is on immediate effect

Fennel AP might allow discount and DIBS. Now the problems in on BNM where have instructed the bank to impose the new policy right away. The bank will not dare to go against BNM.

Let's see. I don't think the sudden change of BNM policy can exclude those projects that have approve earlier. The cut off should be the time you sign the LO or Loan agreement from bank. Those that have not sign or got offer from banks will likely have to follow new policy.

YTL ‘Track 3B’ bid hits snag
By Zuraimi Abdullah

COMPLIANCE ISSUES: Energy Commission to meet firm’s key equipment supplier this week

YTL POWER International Bhd’s bid to win a 2,000-megawatt (MW) power plant project under “Track 3B” looks to be in doubt due to compliance issues.

It is learnt that the Energy Commission has called in one of YTL Power’s key equipment suppliers in the Track 3B project for
a meeting this week.

The commission needs further clarification on YTL Power’s bid and is doing further audit, said people close to the tender process.

It is uncommon for equipment suppliers to be called in for a meeting, they said.



The equipment supplier is said to be a foreign-controlled boiler contractor for YTL Power’s bid.

YTL Power is seen as the front-runner in the multi-billion ringgit project as its bid of 25.12 sen per kilowatt hour (kWh) is the lowest in the tender called by the commission.

Competing bidders include heavyweights 1Malaysia Development Bhd, Malakoff Corp Bhd and Tenaga Nasional Bhd.

However, doubts about YTL Power’s compliance with the commission’s standards have been raised.

Sources said the commission has instituted world-class standards to ensure that Malaysia’s energy security remains efficient, sustainable and reliable well into the future.

In the Track 3B project, the power plant must be based on proven ultra-supercritical (USC) or supercritical (SC) technology.

To ensure the plant's reliability, the commission requires all equipment to have a proven track record. This means that any unit used in the power plant must be of similar design and technology to five units already in use.

They must also have an output capacity of at least 700MW each and have been in successful operation for three years or more.

Sources said in the USC category, YTL Power's boiler contractor is untested. The contractor had only recently won its first bid to supply USC equipment, although it has previously supplied equipment in the SC category.

However, there are fewer than five boilers manufactured by it being used in plants of 700MW and also been in operation for more than three years.

This means that the contractor has fallen short of the commission's requirements.

It is learnt that moving up to a boiler suitable for a 1,000MW plant requires not just scaling up the boiler, but also other considerations, such as the need to use different materials, strengthening every pipe, nozzle, joint, nut and bolt, and re-designing the mechanism to cope with higher pressures and output requirements.

even multi billion projects they tender is having compliance issues...compare to this project, Fennel is a peanuts to them...good luck to all buyers....
