    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As an hon. Member of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, we have gone through this Bill. I want to say that the Committee is very happy with the contents of this Bill. As it has already been said by the Minister and the other Minister who seconded it, this Bill is long overdue. The Engineers Act, Cap 530, is outdated. It lacks enforcement provisions. That Act lacks the new provisions in the engineering technology. So, it is important that this new Bill that is has been proposed is discussed exhaustively in this House and passed. As the Minister has clearly said, the current law does not have strong enforcement provisions. That is why most of our engineering works are of very low standards and we have no way of enforcing it."
