new PM Najib did not waste time. In his second day, PM Najib “turun padang” to visit three areas – two business centres and one housing area. The Petaling Street area, is occupied by a significant number of foreign workers peddling items for sales. Brickfields also has its share of foreign population. Same goes for Kerinchi with its naturalised folks from Indonesia. Thus, its good that the PM can see the not only the three major races, but foreigners as well.
He did not announce any funds/allocations for Petaling Street and Brickfields. Kerinchi’s Vista Angkasa got Rm6.1 million:
Najib also said that the government had approved a RM6.1 million allocation to improve the housing area, which has 1,050 units including 196 low-cost ones.
Out of the allocation, RM2.8 million will be for repainting the blocks, RM1.3 for repairing the roofs, RM1 for improving the anti-lightning system, RM600,000 for replacing the lifts and RM400,000 for improving the telecommunication system.
Najib said the strata titles for the housing area would be issued after the completion of the upgrading works which would begin soon.
Perhaps the FT Ministry haven’t updated the allocation plans for the other two areas, so nothing to announce.
