PUTRAJAYA: In a bid for better governance, the Housing and Local Government Ministry has received proposals for the 2027 Budget. These include the Home Ownership Campaign (HOC) and strengthened electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Minister Nga Kor Ming shared these ideas during today's 2027 Budget Engagement Session, attended by 350 stakeholders.
All proposals will be evaluated based on their feasibility, priority, and the government's financial capacity to ensure efficient spending. Other suggestions range from a command centre for smart city progress, recycling incentives, and green financing for waste management, to increased grants for Volunteer Fire Brigades, healthcare for an aging population, and urban infrastructure upgrades.
Nga plans to discuss these initiatives with the Finance Ministry on September 3. As of July 31, the ministry had completed 304 maintenance projects for non-Muslim houses of worship, 102 upgrades for public markets, and 154 drainage projects, among other achievements.
