Kampung Kijang fire: Kelantan launches donation drive to build new homes for victims
KOTA BARU: Kelantan is aiming to raise RMR500,000 through donations to rebuild eight homes destroyed by a fire in Kampung Kijang. State executive councillor for Public Works, Infrastructure, Water, and Rural Development Datuk Dr Izani Husin said the donation drive currently has reached nearly RM100,000. "All the fire victims come from low-income groups, and their house lots were rented. "The fund was launched following a discussion with the Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud. "We are (also) working on securing eight units of 'Rumah Dhuafa' (homes for the needy) in Kampung Badang, built by the state," he told reporters after launching the donation drive in Kampung Kijang. Izani said the state government wasconsidering building 'Rumah Dhuafa' units, each valued at RM45,000, and expected to be completed by August. "We have set one month to collect the funds and hope the amount raised will be sufficient to cover construction costs." However, the construction of the houses will depend on two factors, namely, the total amount collected and the contractors' willingness to offer flexible payment terms, he said. He said the state government is working to provide temporary rental housing for the eight affected families for three months, with costs covered by the state. On April 28, eight houses in Kampung Kijang were destroyed in a 4.40am fire, affecting 31 victims. One of the victims, Mat Husin Sulaiman, 64, a fisherman, hopes the construction of new homes could be expedited as they were currently staying with neighbours and relatives. "We hope to have a more comfortable shelter. "During the incident, I only escaped with clothes on my back after realising the flames were spreading into the house quickly," the father of eight said. Single mother of six Yah Che Ngah, 60, said she is now living with a neighbour and is saddened by the loss of her 40-year-old house. "I hope we'll have a more comfortable place to stay. "I'm looking for a rental home for now but hope we'll eventually have a permanent one," she said. – Bernama

Manufacturing Sector Powers Kelantan's Economic Progress As ECERDC Spurs RM1.21 Bln In Investments
GENERAL KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- Kelantan's transformation into an emerging industrial hub continues to gain momentum as the East Coast Economic Region Development Council (ECERDC) secures RM1.21 billion in realised investments, driven primarily by the manufacturing sector. Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud said the progress surpassed the annual investment target, reflecting the strong commitment of the state government with the federal government through ECERDC. "The RM1.21 billion in realised investments, driven largely by the renewable energy sector, signals Kelantan's readiness for high-impact development. "With an additional RM290 million in committed investments projected to create over 650 new jobs, investor confidence in Kelantan's long-term potential continues to grow," he said after chairing the East Coast Economic Region (ECER) Implementation and Coordination Committee Kelantan meeting in Kota Bahru today. In a statement, ECERDC said the achievement reaffirms Kelantan's growing appeal as a competitive investment destination within the ECER. ECERDC said key contributors to this milestone include the 84 megawatt (MW) mini hydro power plant project in Kuala Krai, which has begun groundwork, and the development of an automotive 3S (sales, service and spare parts) centre at the Halal Park in Pasir Mas, which is expected to commence operations in the fourth quarter of 2025. According to the statement, major progress has been recorded in the construction of the Palekbang–Kota Bharu Bridge. It also noted that the works on the cable-stayed section across Sungai Kelantan began in April 2025, and the overall project remains on track for completion. Meanwhile, ECERDC has formalised a collaboration agreement with Perbadanan Kemajuan Pertanian Negeri Kelantan and Pertubuhan Peladang Kawasan Bukit Awang today.
