RM18mil allocated for 10 community-based upgrades


NIBONG TEBAL: Seberang Perai folks stand to benefit from community-based developments totalling almost RM18mil to be implemented in stages. Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming said the 10 developments focusing on the southern side will involve various sectors.

“Among them is RM13.8mil for the Fire and Rescue Department to build a new station in Permatang Tinggi. We expect work on the 2.428ha site to start in March next year and for it to be completed in 24 months, by March 2027.“Once completed, it will complement existing stations nearby, such as in Sungai Bakap, Batu Kawan and Nibong Tebal, to improve on a response time of less than 10 minutes,” he said in his speech at the ministry’s Jelajah Kasih programme in Sungai Udang yesterday.
