Pahang Records Reveuw Of RM950 Million So Far - Wan Rosdy

LIPIS, Oct 25 (Bernama) -- The Pahang government has recorded revenue collection of RM950 million so far this year, said Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail.

He said the government remains optimistic about achieving its RM1 billion revenue target by the end of the year, continuing the record of surpassing the billion-ringgit mark achieved since 2022.

 “After taking into account expenditures, including salary payments and management costs amounting to RM600 million, the remaining revenue will be channelled back to the people through various welfare initiatives.

“Among them are assistance for children pursuing higher education, incentives for first-time marriages,  support for religious programmes and the Pahang People's Housing Project,” he told reporters after officiating the “Jelajah Wira MADANI” programme at Laman Sejahtera, Sungai Koyan here today.

Meanwhile, he said the programme succeeded in strengthening ties between armed forces veterans and state government agencies, adding that the selection of Sungai Koyan as the venue was appropriate as many military retirees reside in the area.

Wan Rosdy said that apart from honouring the veterans, the programme also served to educate the community about the field of defence and the responsibilities of military personnel in safeguarding national peace.

“In addition to strengthening ties, programmes like this allow various government agencies and organisations to work together in organising integrated activities for the local community.

"It also provides exposure to the young generation about the roles and contributions of defence personnel, thus nurturing their interest in pursuing a career in the military field,” he added.
