ALOR SETAR, June 24 — The Ministry of Local Government Development has approved an allocation of RM36.34 million to implement 95 projects to upgrade and maintain public infrastructure in Kedah this year.

He said the allocation under the ‘KPKT Sentuhan Kasih Programme’ was significant and should be utilised without leakages and wastage. “The local authorities also need to do a cost-benefit analysis, have a return on investment and ensure feasibility so that this provision reaches the people and it benefits them,” he said during a press conference after visiting the Teluk Wanjah Market here, today.

Meanwhile, he stressed that the provision was not being announced in conjunction with the upcoming state elections, but was rather part of the unity government’s commitment to safeguard the welfare and well-being of the people.
