PM Anwar open to new urgent projects in Kelantan despite RMK13 allocations
KOTA BHARU: The government remains open to reviewing new and urgent project proposals from Kelantan, even though major projects have already been allocated under the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK13). Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim stated that project prioritisation was determined through direct engagement with the state government. 'We have presented RMK13, but new applications have been submitted, and if they are urgent, we will study them, especially flood mitigation, water supply, energy, and hardcore poverty eradication,' he said. He added that the national budget process would consider RMK13 while reviewing additional priorities. Anwar spoke at the closing ceremony of the Kelantan 2025 MADANI Rakyat Program at Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium. Present were Science Minister Chang Lih Kang, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Chief Secretary Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar, and Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud. Anwar noted that engagement sessions have been streamlined to include state government input. 'Every state visit includes a session for feedback and monitoring of ongoing projects to ensure effective implementation,' he explained. On the MADANI Rakyat Program, Anwar said it strengthened government-community ties. 'Through this program, we aim to understand public concerns and elevate initiatives needing attention,' he said. The three-day event, led by MOSTI, featured over 100 public services and tech exhibitions. It was supported by ICU JPM and multiple government agencies. - Bernama

Govt open to new, urgent Kelantan projects, despite major projects listed in 13MP, says PM
KOTA BHARU: The government is open to accepting applications for new, urgent projects from Kelantan, despite allocation for major projects has been listed in the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. He said the new application will be studied by the government if there is a priority, especially if they have an urgency such as flood mitigation, water supply, energy supply, and eradication of hardcore poverty. "We have started engaging on the national budget, which will certainly take into account the 13MP, so we will review what can be added and prioritised," he said when officiating the closing ceremony of the Kelantan 2025 Madani Rakyat Program at the grounds of Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium here on Saturday (Aug 9). Also present were Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Chang Lih Kang; Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar and Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud. Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said compared to before, engagement sessions have been simplified by taking into account input from the state government. "Every time we visit a state, there is a special session that gives the state government an opportunity to provide input, in addition to monitoring ongoing projects. "Sometimes, projects we announce have a large budget, but their implementation is stalled, which is why we continue these discussions with the aim of more effective implementation," he said. On the Kelantan 2025 Madani Rakyat Program, Anwar said it was the best opportunity for the government to get closer and convey information directly to the people. "Hopefully, through this, the government close in on issues of the people and elevate programs that needed attention," he said. The Kelantan 2025 Madani Rakyat Program, led by the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry, was a three-day event that began last Thursday (Aug 7). The program offered over 100 direct services to the public, an exhibition of the latest technology, and various community-reaching initiatives through the comprehensive approach of the Madani Government. — Bernama

He revealed that the number of villages and schools adopted by private firms has surpassed initial expectations. Anwar noted that major corporations, including those with multi-billion-ringgit investments, have stepped forward to support rural communities as part of the programme.

The event took place at Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium, with Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud also in attendance.
