What an interesting title I though. What London facility are we upgrading? I read the next line and it says: “Cost of Refurbishment at RM69m”. Now I am even more curious. We are going to refurbish and existing facility in London for RM69 million? What facility can this be? Then the paper says, its the High Performance Training Center in Brickendonbury, London.

We had a High Performance Training Center (HPT)in Brickendonbury, London?
I though all we had was the Tun Razak Research Center, which is a Rubber Research Institute in Brickendonbury.

I recall a lot of controversy on this HPT thing. Then there was the issues with the UK authorities. THis was followed by a promise that said “We will only allow an amount that is considered reasonable. Don’t worry, when we decide, we will take into account the people’s views.”

Ooops I missed it, it was actually announced that a decision to go ahead had been made.

I wonder what did the British authorities say and what did they approve and I wonder when he said he was taking into account of people’s views, who are these people and what were their views?

And now the story reads as if the center is already in existence and it will be upgraded. Read the whole article in the Star here.
