Seremban-Jempol highway proposal to be tabled in 12MP review - PM

 

The proposal to build the Seremban-Jempol highway will be tabled in the mid-term review of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) next month, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar, who is also the finance minister, said the government will study the current economic conditions before making any decision on the proposed project.

“Insya-Allah, in a year’s time, if our economy improves, we will build the Madani highway, this Seremban-Jempol highway,” he said.

He said this when launching the Felda Wilayah Raja Alias level “Karnival Segalanya Felda” at Dataran Seri Jempol in Negeri Sembilan today.

Also present were Negeri Sembilan caretaker menteri besar Aminuddin Harun, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil, and Felda chairperson Ahmad Shabery Cheek.

Anwar also announced a RM1 million government contribution for the proposed construction of a local community complex at Felda Serting Hilir in Jempol.

“This complex will house a haemodialysis centre, sports centre, library, accommodation facility, and dining hall.

“These facilities are expected to benefit 157 patients from among the Felda community here and also those living nearby,” he said.

He said the government also allocated RM550,000 per year for the maintenance of 2,678 street lamps in Felda Wilayah Raja Alias, which has 16,432 settlers in 49 schemes.
