Project Management Report

Development Expenditure PerformanceThe year 2012 was the second year where the implementation of the 10th Malaysia Plan Development Projects were carried out over two-year cycles, called the two-year rolling plan (2012 – 2013). Project performance under this system is reviewed every year. With a two-year rolling plan, a mid-term review becomes unnecessary.

The actual expenditure for the year 2012 was RM29.5 million, which was 98.20% of the budget allocation.

Looking at the 2012 financial performance of project implementation, expenditure of budget allocation was very impressive. Except for one new project which is categorized as ‘not taken off’, all other projects are on schedule as planned. The project that is not taken off (Forest Fire project) is because the ceiling can only be RM800,000.00 spent in the year 2013. However, the planning was done and the project will take off in early 2013.

Table 13.9: List of new outboard Engines purchased by the Sabah Forestry Department.

Fuel Usage for 2012A special program was initiated and developed to monitor the use of fuel by the perspective forestry offices. However, the accuracy of information on fuel usage captured by the PPA Division was very much dependent on the submission by the respective forestry offices. A preliminary trend analysis showed that total volume fuel consumption irrespective of fuels type is on an increasing trend in general. The total fuel consumption for diesel, oil two stroke and engine oil in 2012 was higher compared to 2011 (refer Table 13.10).

Species planted included Agathis spp, Diospyros diepenhorstii (Kayu Malam), Intsia palembanica (Merbau), Gonystylus bancarus (Ramin), Shorea spp. (Kawang), Terminalia catappa (Ketapang), Podocarpus rumphii (Kayu Cina), Azardirachta excels (Sentang) and other Dipterocarp species. Apart from this, they also carried out pruning activities in Taman Sandakan and tree planting at the Rainforest Discovery Centre and Rumbia Information Centre, Kuala Penyu. Major outside events included the preparation of landscapes and decoration in RDC during the Sultan of Brunei’s visit and also during the opening ceremony of “Tower of Heaven” at Mount Silam in Lahad Datu.
