Dr Zaliha urges federal agencies to halt improper project extensions
LABUAN: Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa has urged all implementing agencies in the federal territories to halt the improper practice of granting unjustified extensions of time for development projects. Chairing the Federal Territories Development Action Council meeting in Putrajaya today, Dr Zaliha stressed that projects such as schools, hospitals, military housing, and other critical infrastructure related to national security must be expedited without compromise, as they involve the rights of the people. 'Contractors must be held accountable to the agreed timelines. There should be no room for excuses,' she said in a Facebook post today. Dr Zaliha also revealed that under the 12th Malaysia Plan's Fifth Rolling Plan, a total of 648 physical and 320 non-physical projects have been recorded. Of these, 402 are in the pre-implementation stage, 461 are in progress, 104 have been completed and one has been cancelled. She urged all relevant agencies to closely monitor the progress of projects under their jurisdiction and to refrain from approving any time extensions unless backed by clear, legitimate and well-documented justifications.

However, he revealed that 222 projects worth RM10.8 billion, approved under the 11MP are still in the pre-implementation stage. 'The state government considers this a serious matter. We have the allocations, yet work has not commenced since 2016. 'These projects, which involve upgrades to hospitals, schools, roads, and more, have not been able to move forward. I raised this issue during the state development meeting,' he said. He added that, with the Prime Minister's agreement, the state government will discuss the matter with relevant ministries and agencies to expedite the projects.

Kuala Nerus Coastal Erosion Control Project To Be Completed In Jan 2027
KUALA NERUS, May 24 (Bernama) -- The Kuala Nerus Coastal Erosion Control project is expected to be completed in January 2027, said the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry (PETRA) secretary-general Datuk Mad Zaidi Mohd Karli. He said the project, which began in July 2023 with a federal development allocation of RM90 million, has reached 24.5 per cent progress. According to him, the project involves beach nourishment works along a two-kilometre stretch and the construction of 16 breakwaters to restore eroded coastline from Pantai Mengabang Telipot to Pantai Batu Rakit. "The project implementation will help preserve the shoreline, prevent coastal flooding, and ultimately protect property and infrastructure from damage. "This will indirectly help revitalise tourism activities, which in turn will support local economic growth," he said in a statement today. Mad Zaidi said that based on the record of the MyProjek system as of May 19, the federal government has approved 27 projects, 22 of which are related to water resources, flood mitigation, and coastal erosion, implemented by the Department of Irrigation and Drainage. In addition, he said three water supply projects under the Water Supply Department and two projects under the Sewerage Services Department (JPP) were approved under the Fifth Rolling Plan of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), with a total value of RM2.945 billion. Mad Zaidi said RM287.8 million has been set aside for Terengganu under the Fifth Rolling Plan of the 12MP. He added that 24 new projects had been proposed under the 13MP for 2026 and are currently undergoing budget review by the Economy Ministry.

Health Ministry getting 66 new construction projects worth RM2.4b, says Works Minister
BUTTERWORTH, May 2 — The Public Works Department (JKR) is implementing 66 new construction projects for the Ministry of Health (MOH) under the Fifth Rolling Plan (RP5) of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP), with a total cost of RM2.4 billion. Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said JKR, through its Health Works Branch, has also been entrusted with 170 healthcare facility projects nationwide, valued at RM16.47 billion. 'These include 62 projects in the pre-construction (planning) phase estimated at RM4.05 billion, 64 projects in the construction phase worth RM7.88 billion, and 44 completed projects in the post-construction phase involving RM4.54 billion,' he said. He was speaking at the handover ceremony of the Multi-Storey Block Construction Project at Seberang Jaya Hospital here today. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad was also present. Nanta added that from 9MP to 12MP, 12 projects worth RM1.31 billion have been implemented in Penang under the Works Ministry. He said for the Penang projects, the pre-construction phase involves five projects estimated at RM139 million, the construction phase includes five projects worth RM781 million, and the post-construction phase covers two projects costing RM396 million. On the Seberang Jaya Hospital project, he said JKR was tasked with it in 2016 under a RM371 million design-and-build contract. The nine-storey block includes a 77 per cent increase in bed capacity — from 413 to 729 — as well as new roads and parking facilities built on the hospital's existing field, measuring 1.32 hectares. He said the project faced delays due to challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. 'The construction adheres to Treasury Circular guidelines and uses the Industrialised Building System (IBS), achieving an IBS score of over 70 per cent,' he added. — Bernama
