PORT KLANG July 28: The State Government will begin to meet with companies handling the development sector to formulate development together with villagers.

Chief Minister, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said that the meeting will be held after the Hari Raya Aidilfitri (Eid al-Fitr) celebration.

He said that they have already conducted studies to join three parts in Port Klang, consisting of villages, new developments and industrial areas.

“My goal is to be able to merge the three parts so that the surrounding community, especially villages, will experience development.

“There is no use for buildings with dozens of floors and cost hundreds of millions if villages can only look at it.

“So we want companies that handle development to formulate a joint development involving villagers. We want to meet them for the implementation,” he said in his speech at the Iftar with the people at Port Klang held at the Sultan Pulau Indah Mosque.

Also present was the Acting President of the Klang Municipal Council (MPK), Ehsan Mukri and MPK Council Member, Norhisham Aziz.

In the meantime, Abdul Khalid also informed that he has asked to meet with the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development to discuss ways to better expand development in the constituency.

“The promise during the 13th General Election was to ask the Federal Government to improve infrastructure here.

“So I have mentioned this matter to the Minister, and I hope it can be done in the near future.Our efforts are ongoing because we do not want the people to be left out,” he said.

At the event, 100 residents from four villages received Shopping Coupons worth RM100 under the Jom Shopping (Let’s Go Shopping) programme in conjunction with Hari Raya.

The four villages consists of Kampung Perigi Nenas, Teluk Nipah, Pinang and Sungai Kembung.

A recipient, Aishah Kasbari, 82, described the contribution as an assistance to lessen the burden of recipients.

“With this coupon, we can buy essential items which will be used during the Raya celebration,” she said.
