IPOH, Oct 18 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has approved a special allocation of RM30 million to resurface 600 roads in residential areas across Perak, said Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming.

He said the allocation, through the Sentuhan Kasih Istimewa YAB PMX initiative, uses the savings of the Ministry of Housing and Local Government (KPKT) from recent years and is now being channelled back to improve public facilities and comfort, according to Bernama.

“In conjunction with the Perak DAP Convention, I announced on behalf of the Prime Minister a special allocation of RM30 million for road resurfacing works in residential areas across the state.

“At least 600 roads can be resurfaced through this allocation. The resurfacing works will begin next month and are expected to be fully completed before Hari Raya next year,” he said.
