THE proposal to build a Seremban-Jempol link will be tabled at the mid-term review of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) next month, said Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.

Anwar, who is also finance minister, said the government will study current economic conditions before coming to a decision on the proposed highway. 

“God willing, in a year’s time, if our economy improves, we will build the Madani highway – this Seremban-Jempol highway,” he said.

Anwar said this at the launch of “Karnival Segalanya Felda” at Dataran Seri Jempol today.

Also present were Negri Sembilan Menteri Besar Aminuddin Harun, Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil and Felda chairman Ahmad Shabery Cheek.

Anwar then announced a RM1 million government contribution for the proposed construction of a Local Community Complex at Felda Serting Hilir in Jempol.

“This complex will house a haemodialysis centre, sports centre, library, accommodation facility and dining hall.

“These facilities are expected to benefit 157 patients from among the Felda community here and also those living nearby,” he said.

He said the government has allocated RM550,000 per year for the maintenance of 2,678 street lamps in Felda Wilayah Raja Alias, which has 16,432 settlers across 49 schemes. – Bernama, July 27, 2023.
