PM Anwar says RM20m for Kelantan’s water pumps approved ages ago, project delay due to state’s approval for land

KOTA BARU, — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said the RM20 million allocation for the purchase of 20 units of water pump in Kelantan, which was announced in May, had long been approved.

Anwar, also the Finance Minister, said the implementation of the project was delayed due to several problems that cropped up, including the issue of land approval from the state government to build a dirt road for the use of the new pump.

He said that the project also took a long time because the existing water pumps did not reach the surface to allow the water supply to flow into the paddy fields.
