Madani Adopted Village coordinator Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan revealed that the projects would commence in October 2026 and conclude by March 31, 2027. Visiting the island on a Budget Tour, Amir highlighted several ongoing projects. These include a food supply cabin and a public motorcycle parking zone at the passenger jetty in Tekek, alongside 10 solar lights installed at Juara Jetty.
Other initiatives comprise a new bridge in Salang and landscape improvements at Genting's entrance. Additionally, the ministry plans to organize folk sports events in each village and a communal cleanup to mend water supply pipes in Juara next month.
