An allocation of RM1.44 billion across 42 projects have been approved for the rural roads (JALB) programme in Kelantan, which will include the upgrading of bridges in the state, reports Bernama.
This programme was approved under the Third Rolling Plan (RP3) of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) through the Rural and Regional Development Ministry, said Kelantan state development action council joint chairman Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, who is also the minister of natural resources, environment and climate change in Malaysia.
“For 2023, a total of RM122.95 million has been allocated for the implementation of three projects under JALB, which include road and bridge construction from Kampung Joh to Kampung Belimbing and from Kampung Joh to Kampung Kuala Sat, as well as the road construction project from Kampung Joh to Kampung Mata Ayer, Machang,” said Nik Nazmi.
These projects will complete the rural alternative road network involving the districts of Kota Bharu, Machang and Tanah Merah, the minister said, adding that the three projects are expected to reduce travel times between the three districts by up to 20 minutes and 15 km, respectively.
“The implementation of the JALB project will have an impact on development, create smooth traffic flow and improve economic and social wellbeing, especially in Machang which will no longer be known as a dead town,” Nik Nazmi said.

They will not appreciate the allocation. They will thank Hardy instead.
If they only give to entice for votes then the gift is insincere, so why should anyone be appreciative? Give RM 2Bil allocation after lost election then only talk lar.
the king of BS has spoken. All hail the king!
You mean Hardy is sincere?
Their real kampung is Shah Ale. They only balik bandar 2 times per year only. For what to upgrade?
Correct. Shah Alam is now Pothole Capital of Malaysia.
the king of BS has spoken. All hail the king!
Paltry allocations when compared to Selangor/Perak for WCE, Kulim International Airport, Selangor Water treatment plants etc. There are key and strategic investments that are medium term and crucial to be done now eg Deepwater Port in Bachok, final leg of LPT3, Gas pipeline for industry, etc.
Other states such as Penang is now embarking on undersea tunnel/ highway, even Perlis is doing its CiQ in Chuping.

It is this mentality that had kept PH and all the Opposition from going into oblivion. And so?
the king of oblivion has spoken. All hail the king!
Even if it’s not the biggest allocation, something is still better than nothing because there are some countries in the world which are not so lucky.

PH have been saying we are not so lucky for 61 years so the mentality they have taught becomes that we continue to be unlucky.
Even if the road conditions in other countries are not as fortunate as ours, does that mean that ours is the most fortunate in the whole world?
the king of not so lucky has spoken. All hail the king!
Be real, these will likely go towards some Merc purchases
