RM13.3 Billion In WTD Recorded As Of Last April
BATU PAHAT, May 17 (Bernama) -- A total of RM13.3 billion in Unclaimed Money (WTD) was recorded by the Accountant General's Department (JANM) until last April. Accountant General Nor Yati Ahmad revealed that since the establishment of the unclaimed money (WTD) system in 1977, only about RM4 billion has been successfully claimed by rightful owners or their heirs. She said this situation likely occurred because many individuals or their heirs were either unaware that they had unclaimed money records or had never taken the initiative to check with the Accountant General's Department of Malaysia (JANM). "They can actually check or submit a claim application via the official portal or eGumis application and go to JANM branches in each state. "We will also continue to intensify promotions and field activities to publicise the existence of this WTD because it can only be issued by the owner or heir," she told reporters after opening the Kampung Angkat MADANI (KAM) and Santuni MADANI Programme at Sekolah Kebangsaan (SK) Minyak Beku, here, today. Meanwhile, speaking about the KAM programme, she said that various activities were organised to support the local community and implement development projects, particularly those involving infrastructure improvements. He explained that in addition to the WTD counter, opened in collaboration with Bank Rakyat for the opening of children's savings accounts with a RM20 incentive per account, several other community-focused activities were also carried out. 'Among the physical development projects were upgrading water supply pipelines, repairing Islamic halls, constructing cemetery fences, enhancing funeral management facilities, and handing over a funeral van,' she said. She said the KAM programme aims to bridge the development gap between rural and urban areas by improving essential infrastructure, community facilities, and ensuring internet access is not overlooked.

Kg Inderasabah Receives RM1 Mln Under MADANI Village Adoption Programme
TAWAU, April 22 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Finance has allocated RM1 million to the Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCOM) under the MADANI Village Adoption programme in Kampung Inderasabah, to enhance the well-being of the local community. ESSCOM chief executive officer, Datuk Dr Jamaluddin Mohd Ali, said the initiative encompasses infrastructure development as well as safety and security measures. 'We have identified seven projects to upgrade Kampung Inderasabah, which include improving street lighting, upgrading the village jetty and enhancing overall security. An additional RM200,000 has been allocated for education and technical and vocational training programmes,' he said. 'Based on intelligence from ESSCOM's Security Division, the area is exposed to cross-border criminal activities such as fuel smuggling and piracy,' he told reporters after the Kampung Angkat MADANI central committee meeting chaired by Assistant Minister to the Chief Minister Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan, here today. Jamaluddin noted that Kampung Inderasabah holds economic potential and the advantage of a united community, adding that if the model proves successful, the programme could be extended to other areas within the Eastern Sabah Security Zone. ESSCOM will also implement the Sekolah Angkat MADANI programme at Sekolah Kebangsaan Lihak-Lihak in Semporna, with an allocation of RM100,000, said Jamaluddin. Meanwhile, Nizam, who is also Apas assemblyman, expressed confidence that the initiative would positively impact Kampung Inderasabah, which falls within his constituency. 'This programme will add value to the village's security and socio-economic status, as it's a hotspot, located along the maritime borders with Indonesia and the Philippines. 'This initiative stems from the vision of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who aspires to engage all communities through coordinated services provided by government agencies,' he added.
