Abstract
It was May 1992; Jamilus Hussien, had been given 24-hour notice to report for duty to head the new airport task force that was the KL International Airport (KLIA). The Public Works Department engineer was overwhelmed.“I had managed million ringgit projects, but to be summoned overnight for a multi-billion ringgit project floored me….” The Government allocated one billion ringgit for initial start-up costs that included land acquisition for the replacement airport in Sepang. The responsibility was assigned to KL International Airport Berhad (KLIAB), a newly formed wholly government-owned entity under the Minister of Finance Incorporated and Jamilus Hussein as the Managing Director.The rest of the task force had similar directives, and were thrown into the deep end to evaluate a project that had no precedence in Malaysia. Normally this kind of project will take 10 to12 years.Apparently, the biggest challenge for KLIAB was the deadline.The urgency to have the airport built by 1998 required innovative strategies to manage the project.
