ISKANDAR PUTERI: Nine out of ten key projects proposed under the Fifth Rolling Plan of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) have been approved during the special state development meeting chaired by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on May 23, said Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi. He said the approved projects include the construction of Sultanah Aminah Dua Hospital in Johor Bharu and work to widen highways. He said this during today's winding-up debate session at the Johor State Legislative Assembly in Kota Iskandar. However, he revealed that 222 projects worth RM10.8 billion, approved under the 11MP are still in the pre-implementation stage. 'The state government considers this a serious matter. We have the allocations, yet work has not commenced since 2016. 'These projects, which involve upgrades to hospitals, schools, roads, and more, have not been able to move forward. I raised this issue during the state development meeting,' he said. He added that, with the Prime Minister's agreement, the state government will discuss the matter with relevant ministries and agencies to expedite the projects.

Kuala Nerus Coastal Erosion Control Project To Be Completed In Jan 2027
KUALA NERUS, May 24 (Bernama) -- The Kuala Nerus Coastal Erosion Control project is expected to be completed in January 2027, said the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry (PETRA) secretary-general Datuk Mad Zaidi Mohd Karli. He said the project, which began in July 2023 with a federal development allocation of RM90 million, has reached 24.5 per cent progress. According to him, the project involves beach nourishment works along a two-kilometre stretch and the construction of 16 breakwaters to restore eroded coastline from Pantai Mengabang Telipot to Pantai Batu Rakit. "The project implementation will help preserve the shoreline, prevent coastal flooding, and ultimately protect property and infrastructure from damage. "This will indirectly help revitalise tourism activities, which in turn will support local economic growth," he said in a statement today. Mad Zaidi said that based on the record of the MyProjek system as of May 19, the federal government has approved 27 projects, 22 of which are related to water resources, flood mitigation, and coastal erosion, implemented by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage. In addition, he said three water supply projects under the Water Supply Department and two projects under the Sewerage Services Department (JPP) were approved under the Fifth Rolling Plan of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), with a total value of RM2.945 billion. Mad Zaidi said RM287.8 million has been set aside for Terengganu under the Fifth Rolling Plan of the 12MP. He added that 24 new projects had been proposed under the 13MP for 2026 and are currently undergoing budget review by the Economy Ministry.

Health Ministry getting 66 new construction projects worth RM2.4b, says Works Minister
BUTTERWORTH, May 2 — The Public Works Department (JKR) is implementing 66 new construction projects for the Ministry of Health (MOH) under the Fifth Rolling Plan (RP5) of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), with a total cost of RM2.4 billion. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said JKR, through its Health Works Branch, has also been entrusted with 170 healthcare facility projects nationwide, valued at RM16.47 billion. 'These include 62 projects in the pre-construction (planning) phase estimated at RM4.05 billion, 64 projects in the construction phase worth RM7.88 billion, and 44 completed projects in the post-construction phase involving RM4.54 billion,' he said. He was speaking at the handover ceremony of the Multi-Storey Block Construction Project at Seberang Jaya Hospital here today. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad was also present. Nanta added that from 9MP to 12MP, 12 projects worth RM1.31 billion have been implemented in Penang under the Works Ministry. He said for the Penang projects, the pre-construction phase involves five projects estimated at RM139 million, the construction phase includes five projects worth RM781 million, and the post-construction phase covers two projects costing RM396 million. On the Seberang Jaya Hospital project, he said JKR was tasked with it in 2016 under a RM371 million design-and-build contract. The nine-storey block includes a 77 per cent increase in bed capacity — from 413 to 729 — as well as new roads and parking facilities built on the hospital's existing field, measuring 1.32 hectares. He said the project faced delays due to challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. 'The construction adheres to Treasury Circular guidelines and uses the Industrialised Building System (IBS), achieving an IBS score of over 70 per cent,' he added. — Bernama

Pahang gets RM858m for roads, clinics, conservation under 12MP, says state exco
KUANTAN, April 24 — The federal government has allocated more than RM858 million under the Fifth Rolling Plan (RP5) of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) for Pahang to implement road infrastructure projects. State Public Works, Transport and Health Committee chairman Datuk Razali Kassim said the funds were channelled through the Ministry of Works to implement two road upgrading projects involving allocations of RM100 million and RM124.82 million. He added that RM320 million was also channelled through the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development for five other projects, including the upgrading of Jalan Pos Sinderut in Lipis. 'All these projects are at the Public Works Department design stage,' he said when winding up the debate on the motion of thanks for the royal address at the State Legislative Assembly sitting at Wisma Sri Pahang here yesterday. On healthcare, Razali said RM28.98 million has been allocated for 40 dilapidated clinics in the state, involving 12 demolish-and-rebuild projects and 28 repair and upgrade works, all of which are underway and expected to be completed by November. In response to complaints that the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Hospital in Temerloh only has six Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds, he said the claim was unfounded, adding that the hospital provides critical care services with 18 ICU beds for adults and 31 Neonatal ICU beds for infants. Meanwhile, state Welfare, Women and Family Development Committee chairman Datuk Sabariah Saidan said that, as of March, the Social Welfare Department (JKM) has provided monthly financial aid to 30,456 recipients in Pahang. She said the temporary financial assistance initiative involved an expenditure of over RM14 million and aimed to help individuals or families in need to have a better quality of life. State Local Government, Housing, Environment and Green Technology Committee chairman Datuk Mohammad Fakhruddin Mohd Ariff said the state government planned to establish another Seladang Conservation Centre at Jalan Bukit Rengit, Lanchang. 'The Wildlife Department is in the process of applying for funding under the 13MP for the project. If approved, there will be two seladang conservation centres in Pahang, strengthening ex-situ conservation efforts,' he said. He added that the state government would also continue with phase 6 of the Pahang People's Housing programme this year, with a total of 470 housing units to be developed at a value of RM36 million. The sitting resumes today. — Bernama
