The prime minister promises to boost funding in the next budget to renovate rundown accommodation.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said more funds will be allocated in the October budget but aid for basic repairs would be made available immediately.
IPOH: The government will try to obtain additional funding in the next budget for the construction and repair of police quarters, says Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. He said he was told that only 40-60% of these housing projects were habitable, while the rest were unsafe.“Most importantly, we will provide immediate funding for basic repairs, then the others can be attended to,” he said during a meet-and-greet session with personnel and families of the Ulu Kinta General Operations Force at Hall 1 of the GOF North Brigade here today.
Anwar, who is also the finance minister, announced recently that he had approved an additional RM200 million to upgrade armed forces facilities and housing nationwide, and RM40 million for police housing, including in the Eastern Sabah Security Command area.
