The document discusses the traditional procurement method for construction projects. It begins by outlining the key aspects of the traditional method, including that the client hires consultants to handle design, cost control, and administration, while a contractor is hired to carry out the construction works. It then discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the traditional method based on a client's request to build a RM1.2 billion hotel and shopping complex within 5 years while maintaining full design control and minimal variations. The document recommends using the traditional method to meet the client's needs and control over the project. It provides a timeline and overview of risks associated with the traditional procurement approach.
This document provides an overview of traditional procurement and two-stage selective tendering processes for construction projects. Traditional procurement involves four stages - brief, design, tendering, and construction - and offers benefits like on-time completion, cost certainty, and full design control but has drawbacks like increased timeframes and risk of design variations. Two-stage selective tendering invites pre-qualified contractors to tender and aims to be transparent while eliminating non-performing contractors and reducing costs. Lump sum contracts define the requested work to minimize price variations, while PAM contracts from 2006 establish legal obligations and quality standards for building projects in Malaysia. Health and safety practices like appointing advisors and site management plans help enhance worker safety.

Plumeria obtusa, commonly known as the Singapore Graveyard Flower or White Frangipani, is a plant native to the Bahamas, Central America, and Cambodia. It was introduced to Hawaii from Singapore in 1931 and is widely cultivated around the world for its ornamental and fragrant flowers. The flowers of P. obtusa are borne in clusters and the plant has glossy, obovate leaves with blunt ends. It grows best in dry to medium soil with a pH of 6.6 to 7.5.
The butterfly and hibiscus flower have a symbiotic mutualistic relationship where they both benefit each other for survival. The hibiscus produces nectar that butterflies consume for nutrients and uses the flower as shelter, while the butterfly pollinates the hibiscus by carrying pollen from one plant to another, helping the species perpetuate by forming seeds. Their interdependence demonstrates that giving to others benefits both parties, reflecting the saying that life is best lived by helping others.
The South China tiger is a critically endangered subspecies of tiger native to southern China. It was once widely distributed but unregulated hunting reduced populations to an estimated 30-80 individuals by 1996. The South China tiger has not been sighted in the wild for over 25 years and is considered functionally extinct. Conservation efforts aim to protect remaining tigers and habitats to restore wild populations through education, captive breeding programs, and sustainable development initiatives.
The South China tiger is a critically endangered subspecies that once inhabited dense forests in southern China. In the 1950s, there were an estimated 4,000 individuals in the wild, but unregulated hunting, habitat loss, and other factors caused populations to plummet to just 30-80 individuals by the 1990s. Extensive surveys since then have failed to reliably confirm any wild South China tigers still exist, so the subspecies is considered functionally extinct in the wild.

General Rulesand Regulations
Late Submission Penalty
The School imposes a late submission penalty for work submitted late without a valid reason e.g. a medical
certificate. Any work submitted after the deadline (which may have been extended) shall have the percentage
gradeassignedto the work on facevalue reduced by10% for the first dayand 5% for each subsequent daylate.
A weekend counts as one (1) day.
Individual members of staff shall be permitted to grant extensions for assessed work that they have set if they
are satisfied that a student has given good reasons.
Absenteeism at intermediate or final presentation will result in zero mark for that presentation.
TheBoardof Examinersmayoverrule any penaltyimposedandallowtheactual mark achieved to be used if the
late submission was for a good reason.
Attendance, Participation and Submission of Assessment Components
Attendance is compulsory. Any student who arrives late after the first half-hour of class will be considered as
absent. The lectures and tutorials will assist you in expanding your ideas and your assessments. Aminimum of
80%attendance is required to pass the module and/or be eligible for the final examination and/or presentation.
Students willbe assessedbasedon theirperformancethroughoutthesemester.Studentsare expectedto attend
and participate activelyin class. Class participation is an important component of everymodule.
Students must attempt all assessment components. Failure to attempt assessment components worth 20% or
more,the student wouldbe requiredtoresubmitor resit an assessmentcomponent,even thoughthe student has
achieved more than 50% in the overall assessment. Failure to attempt all assessment components, including
final exam and final presentation, will result in failing the module irrespective of the marks earned, even though
the student has achieved more than 50% in the overall assessment.
Plagiarism (Excerpt from Taylor’s University Student Handbook 2013, page 59)
Plagiarism,whichisanattemptto presentanother person’s work as your own bynot acknowledging the source,
is a serious case of misconduct which is deemed unacceptable bythe University.
"Work" includes written materials such as books, journals and magazine articles or other papers and also
includesfilmsandcomputerprograms.Thetwomostcommon types of plagiarism are from published materials
and other students’ works.
1. Published Materials
In general, whenever anything from someone else’s work is used, whether it is an idea, an opinion or the
results of a study or review, a standard system of referencing should be used. Examples of plagiarism may
includeasentenceortwo, or a table or a diagram from a book or an article used without acknowledgement.
Seriouscasesof plagiarism canbeseen in cases where the entire paper presented bythe student is copied
from another book, with an addition of onlya sentence or two bythe student.
While the former can be treated as a simple failure to cite references, the latter is likely to be viewed as
cheating in an examination.
Though most assignments require the need for reference to other peoples’ works, in order to avoid
plagiarism,studentsshouldkeepa detailedrecordofthe sourcesof ideasandfindingsand ensure that these
sourcesareclearlyquotedin their assignment.Notethat plagiarism alsorefersto materialsobtainedfrom the
Internet too.

2. Other Students’ Work
Circulating relevant articles and discussing ideas before writing an assignment is a common practice.
However, with the exception of group assignments, students should write their own papers. Plagiarising the
work of other students into assignments includes using identical or very similar sentences, paragraphs or
sections. When two students submit papers that are very similar in tone and content, both are likely to be
penalised.
Student Participation
Your participation in the module is encouraged. You have the opportunityto participate in the following ways:
Your ideas and questions are welcomed, valued and encouraged.
Your input is sought to understand your perspectives, ideas and needs in planning subject revision.
You have opportunities to give feedback and issues will be addressed in response to that feedback.
Do reflect on your performance in Portfolios.
Student evaluation on your views and experiences about the module are activelysought and used as an
integral part of improvement in teaching and continuous improvement.
Student-centered Learning (SCL)
The module uses the Student-centered Learning (SCL) approach. Utilization of SCL embodies most of the
principles known to improve learning and to encourage student’s participation. SCL requires students to be
active, responsibleparticipantsintheirown learningandinstructors areto facilitatethe learningprocess. Various
teaching and learning strategies such as experiential learning, problem-based learning, site visits, group
