Donations needed for mosques

In an unrelated development, the PAS-led state government conceded that it has to rely on public contribution to implement development projects in the state, especially in the construction of mosques and bridges.

The chairperson of the state committee on economic planning, finance and welfare Husam Musa said the state government would provide the allocation but the government depended on public contributions to pay part of the cost of construction for the bridges and mosques.

Azami wanted to know the number of projects implemented by the state government between 1990 and 2009 as well as the value of these projects.

However, Husam did not explain the type of development projects implemented by the state government.

He said if he were to list down the development projects carried out by the state government, it would take more than one day as the list was too long.
