Projek, peruntukan ikut rancangan awal, bukan sebab kempen, KPKT jawab Bersih

Kementerian Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan (KPKT) has firmly stated that the purpose of approved projects and schemes is based on the original design and the needs of the people, rather than for electoral gain. Timbalan Menteri Aiman Athirah Sabu emphasized that the ministry always respects the principles of democracy, electoral integrity, and regulations, without compromising legal standards.

Any initiative undertaken by KPKT is based on the ministry's initial design, initial government decisions, and the needs of the people, rather than being created as part of political campaign planning.

The accusation from the Bersih-PKR coalition that KPKT frequently breaches electoral ethics and laws through the announcement of projects and allocations during the campaign period has been dismissed. They were reportedly informed that surveys conducted in Sabah, Johor, and Negeri Sembilan recently found the ministry often uses government resources and assets.

Aiman Athirah further stated that approved projects such as housing, community infrastructure, and local authority services need to continue to ensure public service is not undermined. He added that the people's right to receive government services should not be denied solely because the country is in an electoral period. Meanwhile, KPKT always strives to ensure the separation between governmental responsibility and political activities remains clear to maintain public trust in their duties and responsibilities regardless of the season.
