KUALA LUMPUR: In a move to promote cleanliness in the Federal Territory, the government is prepared to allocate funds to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and associations, says Dr Zaliha Mustafa.

The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) said the funds can be for NGOs and associations that are interested in organising activities under the “Bersih Setiap Tempat” (BeST) programme in the Federal Territories.

“We have provisions at the Federal Territories level to support this initiative.

“Our goal is to implement it at the community level, and we encourage NGOs to collaborate with us as strategic partners.

“A budget has been allocated to facilitate their involvement,” she told reporters after launching the BeST programme simultaneously for the Federal Territories of Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Labuan, here yesterday.

Dr Zaliha said the implementation of the BeST programme is in line with efforts to promote the Federal Territories as clean and sustainable cities and at the same time build a positive image of the country for the 2025 Asean chairmanship and Visit Malaysia 2026.

Earlier, she also launched the Federal Territories Flag Flying Campaign in conjunction with the Federal Territories Day celebration on Feb 1, Bernama reported.

This year, 72,000 Federal Territories flags of various sizes will be distributed across Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya, and Labuan.
