00:00I feel that the unity of all the people of this country has been touched by the people of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur
00:15Where we have studied that the response this time is not to leave the people in the villages
00:27let alone the gaps between the provinces of Semanjung, Sabah and Sarawak
00:33We see that the Ministry of Villages and Regions has given an additional settlement of 457 million ringgit
00:49The total settlement amounted to 11.9 billion ringgit
00:54This is a large settlement to the KKJW
01:02I would also like to touch on the settlement given to several authorities that I manage
01:13namely TIVET
01:15For example, this year, a total of 6.8 billion ringgit has been settled
01:22But for Tuan Harapan, it has increased to 7.5 billion ringgit
01:29There are also settlements for the local water and electricity supply
01:40and facilities in the city
01:42It is clear that the increase is very significant
01:46Especially when the settlement in the development category, or DE, exceeds the settlement for OE
02:01This is very significant
02:06The total population of the village is 8.1 million
02:13The increase shows that the settlement in the outskirts of the city is not marginalized
02:23We also see that the infrastructure has been provided with 2.9 billion ringgit
02:34We would also like to thank the KKJW for providing a total of 350 village roads
02:45And for VELCRA, RISDA, and KELDA,
02:51a total of more than 2.5 billion ringgit has been settled
03:02KELDA is under my supervision
03:08This is a relief to the target groups in the development categories
03:16Thank you
