KUCHING, Oct 26: A total of RM100,000 has been allocated for Masjid Darul Barakah BDC here under Kota Sentosa assemblyman Wilfred Yap’s 2023 Rural Transformation Programme (RTP) allocation to carry out requested upgrades which will be implemented and supervised by Kuching South City Council (MBKS).
According to a press release issued today, Yap requested a site visit with MBKS officers to obtain feedback and suggestions from the mosque’s management committee for the preparation of the design drawings, specifications, and bill of quantities for the upgrades.
“MBKS officers were requested to speed up the design drawings and specifications for the upgrading works to ensure the benefits can be delivered on schedule,” read the press release.
During the site visit, the mosque’s management committee chairman Sebi Abang, requested Yap for additional funds as the sum of RM100,000 was insufficient to carry out and complete the required renovation and upgrading works.
“YB Wilfred Yap requested the management committee to prepare another supplementary list of upgrades and he will submit another allocation for an extra RM100,000 for approval under his RTP funding for 2024 to assist the mosque to resolve all the upgrading works that needed to be carried out.
“YB Wilfred Yap will continue to fairly allocate his RTP and Minor Rural Project (MRP) funding to all Muslim and non-Muslim religious bodies in N12 Kota Sentosa that are in need of funds to repair and renovate their houses of worship subject to them fulfilling the conditions and requirements,” stated the press release. — DayakDaily
