Pahang Menteri Besar’s Call to Action
Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail emphasized the importance of supporting the state government’s efforts to develop the state. "The ‘children’ of Pahang need to support the state government in its efforts to develop the state. Pahang will be in line with other developed states such as Penang, Selangor and Johor. We should pray for the well-being of our state," he said at the handover programme at the Titiwangsa Stadium in Kuala Lumpur.
Partnership with Perantau Anak Pahang Secretariat
Also present was Deputy Chairman of the Perantau Anak Pahang Secretariat (MAHASISWA) Datuk Seri Shahaniza Shamsuddin. The programme is a collaboration between the state government and Perantau Anak Pahang Secretariat to encourage Pahang residents to return home for Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
Application and Registration Process
Perantau Anak Pahang Secretariat Administrative Officer Syed Anas Datuk Syed Ali revealed that they had received 52,471 applications this year, but only 5,000 initial registrations were received. "We will continue this programme and we hope that more Pahang people will register to benefit from this and so that we know how many ‘children’ of Pahang are in Kuala Lumpur," he said.
Recipient’s Perspective
A recipient, Zuraini Md Zain, 48, who hails from Raub, expressed her gratitude for the programme. "Alhamdulillah, you can fill up petrol or pay toll. I hope that this programme can continue and if there is more allocation, maybe the number of vouchers can be increased," she said.
