KUCHING: Fifteen rural transformation programme (RTP) projects worth RM5 mln will be implemented in the Batu Kawah constituency.
“Over the past few years, assemblyman Datuk Seri Dr Sim Kui Hian has used RTP funds to implement development projects in his constituency.
“The new 15 RTP projects will cover basic infrastructure such as improvement of roads, ditches, street lamps, leisure places. These developments will be carried out by Padawan Municipal Council (MPP), the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID) and Ministry of Utility,” said Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) in a statement.
SUPP added that Dr Sim also continued to focus on ongoing projects such as to upgrade the drainage system at the back lanes of RPR housing, costing RM500,000.
