Mapren, one word for your TL;DR,
COST
You donβt expect backwater places to be willing to folk out extra for higher specifications stuffs, even though it might be more cost effective in long run.
You want to talk cost; why dont your CON- cost those idiot consultants first? with facts and real project number; not politicized number.
talk cost like you all pannai accounting costing or quantity surveying. All of the costing are much ++ with under-table money la idiot; only applicable in malaysia with substandard deliverance.
Just look down south; Indonesia able to built road to connect their few major town with okay ish road. While Malaysia; a simple fucking good road cant even get it RIGHT. and "oh it cost so much more in rural while better for the urban to have it etc etc. Yet; in urban places; you still have pot holes."
should not those pot-holes be warranted under "X company who did it?"
while insulting backwater; is like saying someone in somewhere of the planet not entitled for such BASIC infrastructure etc.
You talk so much cost; no wonder nothing gets DONE RIGHT.
Cost will always goes up as long as people like you prefer to add "personal costing and yield" to the projects. Period. And these people should not be in the system because they are like mole; you never know the bridge you use daily will collapse someday.
