PUNCAK ALAM: Finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz has announced the approval to construct an East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) station here.

Tengku Zafrul said he had met chairmen of various residents’ associations in Puncak Alam and they have voiced the desire of the people to build an ECRL station in the area.

He said an announcement about the construction of other ECRL stations would be made at an appropriate time.

Tengku Zafrul also announced his intention to make Kuala Selangor the adopted district of the finance ministry, to realise the progress of the district as much as possible in the future.

“There is much local potential that can be developed and highlighted,” he said.

Speaking to the media, Tengku Zafrul said, all ministries and government agencies would continue to provide assistance to all sectors and economic areas in the country, including Kuala Selangor.

Regarding his tour programme, which is said to be always held in Kuala Selangor, Tengku Zafrul explained that he had visited various areas throughout the country and not only concentrated on that district alone.

“I went to many parts of Malaysia and the most important issue today is to ensure that the revival of the economy continues,” he said.

Asked if he was likely to contest in Kuala Selangor for the 15th general election, he said for now the focus was on the finance ministry. - FMT
