Based on the list of 10 ECoS-approved contractors only three have Sabah addresses.
“Seven of the 10 approved contractors have businesses and registered addresses in the Peninsula. (One of the 7 companies is listed by ECoS as a Kota Kinabalu company but a company search shows that the company is based in Johor” he said.
