`Usah jadikan projek RMK-9 isu politik' KOTA BHARU: Semua kerajaan negeri termasuk yang ditadbir Pas perlu memberikan kerjasama sepenuhnya kepada Kerajaan Pusat dalam usaha menjayakan perlaksanaan Rancangan Malaysia ke-Sembilan (RMK-9) mengikut tempoh ditetapkan.
Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Effendi Norwawi, berkata pelaksanaan RMK-9 adalah untuk kebaikan rakyat dan tidak seharusnya dipolitikkan pihak tertentu. Katanya, komitmen kerajaan menjayakan projek menerusi RMK-9 itu perlu mendapat kerjasama dan penggemblengan tenaga semua pihak termasuk rakyat dan Kerajaan Kelantan. "Tidak adil jika Kerajaan Kelantan tidak membantu kita kerana ia adalah untuk kebaikan rakyat. "Keprihatinan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi menggandakan peruntukan RMK-9 untuk Kelantan kepada RM7.6 bilion berbanding hanya RM2.6 bilion dalam RMK-8 adalah komitmen peribadinya yang mahukan rakyat negeri ini maju dan makmur seperti negeri lain," katanya kepada pemberita semalam. Beliau ditemui selepas menghadiri program jelajah RMK-9 ke Kelantan anjuran Unit Perancang Ekonomi dan Unit Penyelarasan Perlaksanaan Jabatan Perdana Menteri. Mengulas perkembangan projek yang diluluskan dalam RMK-9 di Kelantan, Effendi berkata, ketika ini ia masih pada peringkat menyiapkan pelan induk terutama bagi Wilayah Koridor Utama Pantai Timur yang dijangka siap pertengahan tahun depan. Antara projek yang bakal dibangunkan menerusi Wilayah Koridor Utama Pantai Timur yang membabitkan Terengganu, Kelantan dan Pahang ialah sektor berteraskan petroleum, kraftangan, pelancongan, pertanian dan pendidikan. Katanya, Petronas dilantik penyelaras pembangunan projek berkenaan dan status terkini ialah penyediaan pelan. "Kita yakin pelan ini akan siap dalam tempoh suku pertama tahun depan yang turut merangkumi pembangunan fizikal seperti pelabuhan, pembesaran lapangan terbang serta sektor minyak dan gas. "Apabila pelan ini siap nanti, kita akan mengadakan perbincangan dengan kerajaan negeri," katanya.//BHarian --- In perakan@yahoogroups.com, "abuhafizd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Wednesday December 6, 2006 > > > Nik Aziz: Don't blame us for delays > > KOTA BARU: Mentri Besar Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat has slammed the > Federal Government for portraying to the people here that the PAS- led > state government would not cooperate with Kuala Lumpur in > implementing the 9th Malaysia Plan. > > It was the Federal Government's own fault if previous Plans could not > be effectively implemented, Nik Abdul Aziz said. > > He said the state government had always cooperated fully as > development was a joint obligation on both sides, the ruling party > and the Opposition. > > "Check our records.
