  "account": "Kementerian Kemajuan Desa dan Wilayah (KKDW) head of finance, Johan Mahmood Merican, warned during a strategic workshop that the ministry will only spend according to the approved budget. The ministry of Rural and Regional Development (KKDW) will not spend more than the allocated budget, meaning that there has never been a ministry that overspent its allocation. The question of where the money is going is never answered by the deputy director of the Public Accounts Committee. How much budget is available? There is no well-balanced budget. There is nowhere KKDW might overspend its budget, according to the Independent Online news outlet when speaking at the opening session of the KKDW Regional Community Center and National Information Distribution Center. Last Tuesday, Zahid revealed that some contractors were working on rural projects by receiving payments from the government, with some forced to close operations due to cash flow problems. In response, the Deputy Director of Finance said that most of the budget for this year's rural road projects has already been spent, causing a shortage of payments. The budget has been completely depleted, while KKDW has consistently overspent the annual budget allocated for rural road projects for several years now.",
