  "account": "A total of 500 Rukun Tetangga (KRT) clusters nationwide are currently inactive, with Selangor reporting the highest number of inactive clusters at 174, followed by Johor with 100, according to Federal Territories and National Integration Minister Aaron Ago Dagang. The minister stated that the Perpaduan Negara dan Integrasi Nasional (JPNIN) department needs to develop a specific activation roadmap to address the issue, starting with identifying the root causes of inactivity for each KRT and taking appropriate interventions such as strengthening leadership, reviving community participation, and designing activities based on the community's real needs. Since 2024, 579 progressive KRTs have been established across the country, with Sarawak recording the highest number of 63, followed by Selangor and Terengganu, each with 62. The government has allocated RM46 million from 2024 to 2026 to strengthen the implementation of progressive KRTs, which focus on community economic activities, including community gardens, food-producing products, handicrafts, and local small enterprises. The aim is to generate additional income, reduce living expenses, strengthen neighborhood relationships, and enhance social cohesion.",
