MACHANG: Some RM7.2bil worth of projects awarded to Jana Wibawa programme contractors involving the Rural and Regional Development Ministry have been cancelled, said Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister said the decision to cancel the tenders was made by the Finance Ministry and the projects would be re-tendered.
"We know that there is some disruption in terms of implementation and rest assured that if ethics and regulations are followed, it will be done immediately. God willing, the projects will be completed within the specified period," he said.
He spoke to reporters after launching the “Santunan Kasih Ramadan Negeri Kelantan 2023” programme at the Bukit Tiu Knowledge Transformation Centre here today (April 9). - Bernama
