RM525 Mil From Stimulus Package For Building 15,000 Houses For Hardcore Poor - Muhammad Taib

PANTAI REMIS, 16 Nov (Bernama) -- Regional and Rural Development Minister Tan Sri Muhammad Muhd Taib says RM525 million from the RM7 billion stimulus package announced by Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak recently would be used to build 15,000 houses for the hardcore poor.

"Once the two or three room houses are completed, 90 percent of the housing problems faced by hardcore poor families would be solved because under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (RMK-9) a total of 20,450 houses would be build.

"To expedite work on the construction, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has set up a committee and work will start next year," he said after opening the 'Apa Khabar Orang Kampung' programme in Kampung Matang Acheh, Pantai Remis here today.

He said construction works must start quickly to help stimulate the economy at all the identified areas.

Construction works on 74 rural road projects that were previously abandoned due to rising costs of raw material, would also be completed at a cost of RM500 million, he said.

"Also in the pipeline is the completion of 1,600km of village roads under the villages road project and the setting up of 200 child care centers/kindergarten so as to improve the quality of education for the rural young.

Meanwhile, Muhammad urged members of the Village Development Committees to play a role in developing the economic sector in their respective villages.

"The government has initiated various training programmes, loan facilities and grants to help those in the rural areas to become successful businessmen without going to the city," he said.

He added that those who wished to do business should plan and decide on the type of business that they wish to venture and contact the committee for guidance.

Umno divisional meetings: Shah Alam division dumps Muhammad

The Shah Alam Umno division yesterday created an upset of sorts when it did not nominate Selangor Umno liaison chief Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib for the party deputy president's post. The division nominated front-runner deputy president candidate Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin instead.

The international trade and industry minister received 151 votes against Muhammad's 88 votes.

Another vice-president aspirant, Malacca Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, only got five votes.

The voting was carried out by secret ballot. There were calls for it to be done by a show of hands, but this was rejected because delegates felt that a secret ballot would give them the freedom to choose without fear.

Berita dari gunung said...

Setiausaha Agung UMNO adalah milik Presiden. Ketaatannya tidak berbelah bagi. Bila Radzi meletak jawatan tempuh hari, ia adalah tanda wujudnya rasa curiga di mana-mana pihak.

Namun Radzi telah melaksanakan tugas dengan cemerlang walau sambil-sambil turun ke utara semenanjung melihat ayam itik. Mahathir telah dinafikan hak bersuara dalam suasana KETERBUKAAN.

Kini giliran Muhamad Taib pula menunjukkan taat setia tak berbelah bagi, selagi tidak ada rasa curiga dimana-mana pihak.

Tentulah Muhamad Taib tidak semudah dulu terperangkap dengan beg berisi wang. Tentu beliau tidak lagi naive seperti dulu. Beliau sudah matang, dan berwaspada dengan "percaya", "taat setia" dan "pisau banyak mata".

UMNO Tidak Ke Mana Dengan Mat Taib

"Sebenarnya portal sama seperti surat layang. Dulu-dulu hendak dapat surat layang bukan main susah, tetapi dengan ada internet bahan-bahan yang dulu disebarkan menerusi surat layang kini dengan mudah disebarkan melalui alam maya." - Tan Sri Muhammad Muhd Taib

Entah kali ke berapa saya penulis mengenai Ketua Penerangan UMNO Malaysia. Tulisan kali ini mungkin agak emosional sifatnya.

Saya menggunakan nama sebenar bersama emel yang didaftarkan di Malaysia untuk mengulas mengenai Ketua Penerangan UMNO Malaysia, Tan Sri Muhammad Mud Taib. Jika Tan Sri Mat Taib mahu menuduh semua laman web sebagai surat layang lagi, biarkanlah ia dengan labu-labunya.

Membaca wawancara Tan Sri dalam Sinar Harian semalam (22 April 2008) amat menjengkelkan. Lebih menjengkelkan bila saya seperti menghidu komplot antara Sinar Harian dan Mat Taib untuk memburukkan pemimpin UMNO yang dilihat enggan tunduk kepada Pak Lah secara total. ... Ab Jalil Backer (Read More... |
