The Federal Government has upgraded a total of 14.6km stretch of
rural roads at a cost of RM22.42 million for the Batu Sapi Parliamentary
coustituency in 2010 until 2012.
The government continues to
provide a complete infrastructure to rural communities and ensuring that
the people enjoy the facilities and that it will continue to implement
basic infrastructure projects in rural areas under the NKRA involving
Rural Road Projects, Rural Water and Electricity Supply.
The
Minister of Rural and Regional Development said this in reply to a
question from MP for Batu Sapi, Datin Linda Tsen Thau Lin at the
Parliament Third Meeting; the Fifth Session of the Twelfth Parliament
recently.
Datin Linda has asked the Minister to state the action
to be taken in order to upgrade the infrastructure and basic amenities
in Batu Sapi Parliamentary constituency since the area is semi-rural and
lacked basic infrastructure and amenities such as a bridge by the
sea-side, village roads, solar power electricity and water supply.
According
to the Minister, in that same period, the Government had implemented
two Rural Water Supply projects worth RM930,000 in the Batu Sapi
Parliamentary constituency which benefited 270 houses to have 24 hours
access to clean water.
