BINTULU (June 12): The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Sarawak Bintulu branch issued 15 enforcement notices during an inspection of a construction site in Tanjung Kidurong here yesterday.
The inspection was part of the Integrated Enforcement Operation 2025 (OPB).
CIDB Sarawak Bintulu branch manager Kamarul Azman A Razak said the operation was carried out in collaboration with multiple government agencies to strengthen regulatory compliance within the div'sion's construction sector.
Eleven of the notices were issued under N2/2015, requesting contractors to submit construction-related documents and information, while four were issued under N9/2015, requiring the recipients to report to the CIDB office next week.
'Contractors are reminded of their legal obligation to report and submit all necessary documents related to construction activities to CIDB,' Kamarul said in a statement.
He said all construction works must comply with the current written laws and prioritise site and building safety throughout the construction period.
The Ministry of Health conducted inspections focusing on hygiene and health facilities at the construction site, while the Sarawak Department of Labour ensured workers' rights were upheld.
Other agencies involved carried out enforcement based on their respective legal jurisdictions.
Kamarul said the OPB initiative is part of CIDB's continuous efforts to raise industry standards, particularly in safety and legal compliance.
'Contractors who fail to adhere to the CIDB Act 520 may face disciplinary measures, including compounds or court action,' he warned.
He added the authorities will continue to intensify enforcement to uphold legal, safety, and quality standards in the industry.
He also urged all contractors to fully comply with regulations to avoid more severe consequences in future.
Additionally, he called on the public to report any suspected violations of Act 520 to CIDB Sarawak Bintulu branch or the relevant authorities.
'This operation also strengthens inter-agency cooperation in daily enforcement activities,' Kamarul added, emphasising the shared responsibility in ensuring the sector's sustainable and lawful development.
Other participating agencies in the operation were the Department of Occupational Safety and Health, Department of Environment, Bintulu Development Authority, Royal Malaysia Police, Akademi Binaan Malaysia Sarawak Region, and CIDB Technologies Sarawak.
