IPOH, October 18 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has allocated RM30 million for resurfacing 600 roads in residential areas of Perak, informed Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming.

Speaking at the event, Nga, who chairs the DAP in Perak, emphasized the government's dedication to the well-being of the public, citing additional budget 2027 initiatives, such as income tax exemptions and Sumbangan Asas Rahmah assistance.
