From the research findings there were five (5) salient procedures of termination of contract had been provided under Clause 51.1 of PWD 203A Standard Form of Contract and enumerated under Surat Arahan Ketua Pengarah Kerja Raya Bil.8/2013. PWD has complied with all the procedural requirements enumerated under the contractual provisions and guidelines, except with the timing for the issuance of Notice of Termination as well as to make the claim against the Contractor for the loss and/or damage caused to the Government to complete the project. This study is important to enhance the knowledge and understanding mainly for the public officials that termination of contract must be done with greatest care and must follow strictly all the procedural requirements, or otherwise such termination will be challenged by the Contractor before the court, and will be held as a wrongful termination. 2015-01 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/53917/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/53917/25/IntanSafinaSanusiMFAB2015.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:85835 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Built Environment Faculty of Built Environment
