These initiatives will provide a much-needed boost to the state’s infrastructure and help drive economic growth.
Eradicating Hardcore Poverty and Investing in Human Capital

In addition, the state government has allocated RM127 million for human capital development in 2025, which will benefit more than 10,000 current and new students through increased funding for scholarships and student aid.
