KUCHING, May 6 (NNN-BERNAMA) — The Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) has identified 101 projects worth RM16.828 billion on which works have continued during the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) period.
Its chairman Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas said of the total, 42 projects costing about RM16.6 billion involved allocations from the state government, federal government, people’s projects and alternative fund.
“These projects have been identified and filtered by a special task force for the green zones headed by State Secretary Datuk Amar Jaul Samion,’’ he said at a press conference here today.
According to Uggah, another 59 Rural Transformation Projects (RTPs) worth RM22.8 million have been identified for continued implementation during CMCO, and one of the requirements is that the projects must be in green zones.
As of now, 28 of the 40 districts in the state are in green zones.
Uggah, who is also Deputy Chief Minister, said the SDMC imposed several conditions for works on these projects to continue, including the fact that the projects must be located in green districts and should not involve the entry of workers, building materials and machinery from outside the green zone.
