KUANTAN – The Regent of Pahang Tengku Hassanal Ibrahim Alam Shah Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah stressed that he did not want to see any “sick” or delayed projects, or locations in the state left behind in terms of communication.
He said the state and federal governments should work closely in implementing urgent and high-impact projects under the 12th Malaysia Plan and the 2022 budget, and that the available allocations should be spent quickly and correctly so that the people enjoy the benefits.
“This includes the implementation of flood mitigation projects and the development of disaster warning systems, as well as the improvement of drainage systems in locations at high risk of disaster.
“All departments and agencies can expedite the implementation of approved projects by complying with existing rules and procedures.
“I do not want to see any locations, especially in rural areas, without internet coverage. Areas that receive slow internet speed need to be improved from time to time,” he said.
Tengku Hassanal said this at the opening of the first meeting of the fifth session of the 14th Pahang assembly at Wisma Sri Pahang here today. – Bernama, March 28, 2022
