In Kudat, the Federal Government has allocated a budget of RM4.06 billion to support the implementation of the Outstation Water Supply (BALB) projects across the country, according to Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi. As the Minister of Rural and Regional Development, Zahid emphasized that the allocation of funds for this government-funded project aims to ensure the provision of clean drinking water and electricity in both rural and remote areas of Sabah.
Zahid stressed that addressing the primary issue of clean water and electricity supply is his top priority as the Minister of Rural and Regional Development, particularly in rural and outstation areas. He had requested funds from the Cabinet to address this matter. The initiative is crucial as the equitable development is a right of every Malaysian citizen, regardless of whether they reside in Sabah, Sarawak, or on the mainland, he stated during the cultural festival inauguration in Matunggong.
Other notable attendees included the Minister of Indigenous People and Environmental Conservation, Arthur Joseph Kurup, the President of the Rungus Malaysia Society, Wetrom Bahanda, who is also a Member of Parliament for Kota Marudu, and Kudat MP Verdon Bahanda.
