Pasir Salak GiatMara to relocate to new site, says Zahid
PASIR SALAK: The Pasir Salak GiatMara centre will be relocated to the engineering workshop area of the Seberang Perak Integrated Agricultural Development Area (IADA) in Ulu Dedap, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said.
Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Rural and Regional Development Minister, said the move was necessary as the centre is currently operating in a rented building at Pulau Tiga, Kampung Gajah.
"I have agreed for the Pasir Salak GiatMara to be moved to a new site, with courses that are relevant to market demand, including agricultural machinery repair,' he said at the Felcra Berhad Interim Profit Declaration 1/2025 ceremony here on Sunday (Aug 17).
Also present were Deputy Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Rubiah Wang and Perak Mentri Besar's special officer for the Kampung Gajah state constituency, Khairul Azwan Harun.
Meanwhile, Ahmad Zahid said Mara would work to secure allocations for the construction of business premises in Changkat Lada, Seberang Perak.
He added there was also a request for a sports complex, and as a start, a fenced football field with synthetic turf would be developed. - Bernama
