00:00Thank you, Speaker. My question is for Number 3.
00:04Please, Minister.
00:08May peace be upon you. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:14Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for your question, Number 3.
00:19Mr. Speaker, for your information,
00:24as of 3 November 2024,
00:27RM1.2 million has been approved by the KKW
00:33for the 2024 Ranau Parliament.
00:38The village road project that has been approved
00:42is in Tegudon Lama Village,
00:45Karanaan Village, and Senaja Sinsilok Village.
00:49The requests that have been submitted
00:52will go through an investigation
00:56according to the strong JPD guidelines.
01:01The requests that have been submitted
01:05have been investigated.
01:10And for your information,
01:12we only have a record for the Ngiring Ranau village road project.
01:18The Ngiring Ranau village road project has been fully investigated.
01:22However, these requests will be considered
01:25according to the importance of the readiness
01:28of the JPD project for Sabah.
01:32Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
01:34Okay, Ranau.
01:36Thank you for your answer, Minister.
01:41But we actually want to ask,
01:46because in Ranau, we have determined
01:48that the projects that have been approved
01:50are only for the people of Amno.
01:53For 2022, 2023, and 2024,
01:56they are the same people.
01:59So, in front of the MPs,
02:01there is no consideration.
02:05And I personally came to the KPLB office,
02:08only those signed by the Chairperson of Amno
02:11will be approved.
02:14So, how do we manage our region?
02:18If there are still choices of love,
02:21choices of fur,
02:23choices of separation,
02:25and do not give consideration
02:27to what the MPs asked for,
02:29which was supported by the majority,
02:32tens of thousands of people,
02:34but not given attention.
02:36That's my question.
02:37Okay.
02:39Thank you, Minister.
02:42Thank you, Mr. Ranau,
02:45for your additional question.
02:49For your information,
02:52actually, for the approval of a project,
02:55we never take into account
02:57the party, politics, and so on.
03:01What we take into account
03:03is from the point of request
03:05that is presented to us
03:07based on the date and time
03:12where the request is submitted
03:14to the State Planning Commission,
03:16to the regional office,
03:18and also through the respected
03:20YBYB,
03:22to the Ministry of Rural Development.
03:25Every request,
03:27for your information,
03:29for next year's approval,
03:31we have received requests
03:33starting from this 10th month.
03:35The State Planning Commission
03:37and the regional office
03:39have compiled the list
03:41that can be considered
03:44based on the research
03:46that was carried out
03:48on the protocols.
03:53These requests will be selected
03:56and submitted to the
03:58Project Evaluation Authority
04:00at the KKW.
04:03Actually, we never take into account
04:05the party-based requests.
04:09Instead, we take into account
04:11the requests submitted
04:13by the State Planning Commission
04:15and the regional office.
