KANGAR, April 22 (Bernama) -- A total of 113 projects valued at RM1.8 billion have been completed in Perlis under the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), according to data from MyProjek as of March 25.
The Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail, said that he has also received news that the state government is focusing on religious programmes by building and renovating five mosques across Perlis using allocations from 12MP.
“As we are aware, 2025 is the final year of 12MP, to be followed by new aspirations under 13MP, which will commence in 2026 and continue until 2030.
“For 13MP, the state government has submitted 61 project proposals with a total value of RM3.3 billion under various ministries.
“The requested projects align with existing policies that support the welfare and needs of the people as well as the common good,” he said during the official opening of the Perlis State Legislative Assembly session here today.
Also present were the Raja Perempuan of Perlis, Tuanku Tengku Fauziah Almarhum Tengku Abdul Rashid; Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail; and Raja Puan Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Dr Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil.
Syed Sirajuddin expressed confidence that the construction and operation of Sanglang Port will take place during the 13MP, a development that will bring about a more progressive economic sector in Perlis in the coming years.
Furthermore, the Raja of Perlis urged the state assembly members to continue assisting the state government in intensifying promotion efforts to attract investors to the state through close collaboration with federal investment agencies.
“Specifically, MITI (Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry), MIDA (Malaysian Investment Development Authority), SME Corp (SME Corporation Malaysia), and cooperation with other state governments. Project development through Private Finance Initiatives (PFI) can also be explored more thoroughly if it promises worthwhile returns for the state,” he added.
