KUALA LUMPUR – The federal government has not marginalised Kelantan in terms of development allocation in Budget 2024, especially in road infrastructure, even when its administration is controlled by the opposition, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.

Deputy Works Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad said out of the total amount of RM9.511 billion allocated by the Works Ministry, Kelantan was the state that received the highest allocation.

“Actually, what Jelutong (RSN Rayer) said is true. The government has not marginalised opposition areas… (but) during the debate, there were some MPs who said that Kelantan was marginalised and the allocation received was very little.

“I want to tell you that Kelantan is the state that receives the highest allocation in the peninsula,” he said when winding up debate on the Supply Bill 2024 at the committee stage for the ministry in the house.

Abdul Rahman also praised the involvement of the MPs in the debate involving the ministry.

Their involvement in voicing the needs of the people and their respective areas saw the allocation to the ministry increased by RM1.072 billion to RM9.511 billion in the budget. – November 15, 2023
