RM780mil for regional projects


PETALING JAYA: A total of RM780mil has been allocated to fund five regional development projects next year, says Finance Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz.

They are the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) in the area under Iskandar Malaysia in Johor; the construction of a bridge at Palekbang to Kota Baru (across Sungai Kelantan) under the East Coast Economic Region (Ecer); infrastructure in the Special Development Zone in Yan and Baling, Kedah, under the Northern Corridor Economic Region (Ncer); infrastructure in Sarawak’s Samalaju Industrial Park; and the continuation of the enlargement of Sabah’s Sepangar Bay Container Port under the Sabah Development Corridor.

The BRT in Johor spans three routes that will serve an area that is over three times the size of Singapore, with development guided by the Comprehensive Development Plan and the Circle of Sustainability to ensure a balance between the economy and the environment.
