He said the hall provides a more organised, inclusive and functional community centre for the benefit of local residents.

“The third project involves upgrading and maintaining a mosque’s toilets at a cost of RM134,850, which was also completed on Nov 17. This upgrade provides more comfortable facilities and ensures better cleanliness for worshippers and visitors,” he said.

The programme’s implementation involves the Ministry of Finance as the lead agency, the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU) of the Prime Minister’s Department as the monitoring body, and collaboration with contractors and village leaders.

“The strong commitment from all parties has ensured the successful completion of these projects in the village,” he said.
