According to reports, a foreign consultant has asked Putrajaya Holdings not to use local products, but to import them from Europe.

Malaysian Sheet Glass’ Group Country Manager, N Krishna Kumar, says: “The foreign consultant said the manufacturer and processor of the glass must be from the same company so that it will be easier to get a warranty. This has immediately disqualified local glass manufacturers who have never faced any issues of warranty,"

Local producers have reacted by saying that products from Europe would cost 15 to 20% more than those processed locally.
