KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7: The Works Ministry is seeking an allocation of between RM5 billion and RM6 billion under Budget 2027 to ensure federal roads nationwide can be maintained at an optimum level.
Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Maslan said the allocation was necessary to ensure road quality and safety were maintained, noting that the ministry received only RM3.18 billion this year for federal road maintenance.
Of the amount, RM2.08 billion was allocated for Peninsular Malaysia, RM640 million for Sabah and RM461 million for Sarawak.
“Therefore, we have requested the Ministry of Finance to provide a sufficient allocation in the upcoming budget,” he said during the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today.
