00:00This project can be handed over 16 in 1, and without further ado...
00:05I would like to thank the JKR for being an agency for the implementation of the protocol
00:13that has been approved by the KKJW.
00:16Thank you to the contractor who has carried out this project earlier than scheduled.
00:26Thank you also to the JKR and the contractor who have saved the budget of RM400,000.
00:41Of course, this must be taken as an example.
00:49Not only by the JKR and other agencies in other regions of the country,
01:00but also by the JKR and the KKJW.
01:16Of course, the benefits will come to the people.
01:22The people must be provided with support and priority.
01:27These three roads are a manifestation of the development in rural areas.
01:39And the government will never forget the people living in rural areas.
01:44Although the latest statistics show that there are about 8.1 million people living in rural areas across the country.
01:55That includes 14.7% of the total population of Malaysia.
02:01But the important thing is that every community, every group will never be left behind.
02:11For that, what is done by this civil government, through the existing ministries,
02:19must be renamed.
02:23The important thing is that the target group must be well-connected.
