KOTA BHARU, Oct 11 (Bernama) -- The Kelantan State Government hopes that the implementation of major infrastructure projects that are a priority for the people can be carried out according to the schedule as announced in the tabling of Budget 2026 yesterday.
Kelantan Menteri Besar, Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud, said that among the new projects are the upgrading of the existing road to a four-lane dual carriageway in Rantau Panjang and the upgrading of the Pasir Mas-Rantau Panjang railway line.
In addition, several other important projects were also announced, including the upgrading of the Sultan Ismail Petra Airport, the main road projects of Kubang Kerian–Bachok and Pasir Mas–Salor, the Bandar Baru Tunjong Urban Drainage System, the Mukim Tiong and Mukim Jelutong Regional Sewage Treatment Plant projects, and the Rural Water Supply System in Pasir Mas.
"Also benefiting the state is the Machang Water Treatment Plant project, the implementation of the Non-Revenue Water Programme, and various other initiatives that will drive the prosperity of the people.
"The state government also hopes that more new projects in the agricultural and tourism sectors will be given attention under the implementation of the 13th Malaysia Plan, given that both sectors have great potential to generate sustainable economic growth for the state," he said in a statement today.
He said major projects such as the construction of the Kota Bharu–Kuala Krai Highway and the flood mitigation projects are hoped to be implemented in an orderly manner and according to schedule, including projects that have been approved but have not yet started in the previous Malaysia Plans (RMK).
"The state government greatly welcomes the allocation announced for Kelantan to strengthen the prosperity and well-being of the people.
"The successful implementation of these projects efficiently and effectively will not only strengthen the state's development foundation but also have a direct impact on improving the people's standard of living," he said.
