SEREMBAN: The Negri Sembilan government has fulfilled 95% of the Negeri Sembilan Unity Aspiration manifesto outlined in the state election even though the new government is only a year old on Monday (Aug 12), said Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun.
He said some of the initiatives under the Sejahtera Rakyat Scheme included marriage assistance of RM500 to each resident who started a household for the first time and an annual contribution of RM200 to seniors aged 70 and above.
He said that, in addition, the cooperation between the parties in the Unity Government in this state is also very good, thus helping to develop the economy more rapidly and attracting investors.
"The development that exists today is a close collaboration to ensure that Negeri Sembilan continues to succeed," he told reporters after the Negri Sembilan First Class Excellent Graduates Award Presentation Ceremony here on Tuesday (Aug 13).
The Pakatan Harapan (PH)-Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition previously offered 70 initiatives under 10 main thrusts in its manifesto for the people of Negeri Sembilan, including education and human capital, people's welfare, agriculture, welfare, land and housing.
At the ceremony, he said 180 outstanding students received cash prizes of RM5,000, out of a total allocation of RM900,000.
He also said the state government had previously allocated RM2.42mil in incentives for 484 excellent graduates through Yayasan Negeri Sembilan this year. – Bernama
