Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) had awarded Global Aerospace Sdn Bhd with a RM915,335 contract to supply a Lear Jet 24 series serviceable aircraft, for use by students from its Aeronautical Engineering faculty.

“An audit visit on Sept 9 and Oct 20 last year found that the aircraft was parked under improper conditions and did not meet safety requirements. A bus parking lot was modified to become a hangar to park the aircraft.”

University’s plane kept at bus parking lot, audit reveals

AUDIT REPORT A local public university had purchased an aircraft in 2011 but faced budget constraints to build a proper hangar, an audit found.

The Auditor-General’s Report 2015 stated that Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) had awarded Global Aerospace Sdn Bhd with a RM915,335 contract to supply a Lear Jet 24 series serviceable aircraft, for use by students from its Aeronautical Engineering faculty.

“An audit visit on Sept 9 and Oct 20 last year found that the aircraft was parked under improper conditions and did not meet safety requirements. A bus parking lot was modified to become a hangar to park the aircraft.

“Based on its original plans, the aircraft was supposed to be parked at a location in Tanjung Laboh, with a runway and a proper hangar,” the report said.

The plans, however, never took off due to budgetary constraints.

The report further raised concerns that the current makeshift hangar could impact the teaching and learning process.

In its response, UTHM said the cabinet had in 2013 approved plans to build a permanent hangar but so far there has been no budget allocated for the project.
