The Kelantan government has thanked the federal government, especially Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, for providing the state with various annual grants.
This included the capitation, road, and Malaysian Road Records Information System (Marris) grants.
Kelantan Menteri Besar Mohd Nassuruddin Daud said the state government received annual grants of RM272.55 million in 2019; RM296.98 million (2020); RM317.65 million (2021); RM346.91 million (2022); and RM354.02 million last year.
“The estimated annual grant for this year is not available yet as it is subject to the policies stipulated by the government from time to time,” he said.
He was replying to a question by Nik Bahrum Nik Abdullah (PAS-Chempaka) during the state legislative assembly sitting at the Kota Darulnaim Complex today.
Meanwhile, on an application to increase the capitation grant, Nassuruddin explained that he discussed the matter at a meeting between the menteris besar and the prime minister for the rate to be revised in line with the current situation.
“Alhamdulillah, Pahang menteri besar (Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail) and Perak menteri besar (Saarani Mohamad) supported the proposal.
“The government responded by saying it would look at its current financial situation first,” he said.
