KAMPAR: The initiative of a group of residents of Kampung Batu 8, Jalan Tanjung Tualang here, to transform an idle land into a hydroponic coral lettuce planting project site since the beginning of May has benefitted the local community.

Project leader Mohmad Fazar Fadzillah, 37, said the implementation of the project on the 0.1ha site was assisted by an allocation under the Madani Community Fund initiative amounting to RM80,000, which was channelled through the Implementation Coordination Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department (ICU JPM).
