GUA MUSANG: All pending development projects for Orang Asli in Kuala Betis will be expedited for the benefit of the community and the overall community in Nenggiri, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Deputy Prime Minister said this was because the unity government was committed to implementing Orang Asli development projects in the area.

"This is the basis for us to build a Madani Society that cares for the poor and the underprivileged.

"The groundbreaking ceremony for the village road that will connect Kuala Betis to Pos Bihai, Pos Belatim and Pos Balar is one of the government’s initiatives to (bring) Orang Asli (into the) mainstream so that they don’t feel marginalised.

"The project will bring about socioeconomic impact and benefit 7,147 Orang Asli residents in Gua Musang,” he told a press conference after officiating the groundbreaking ceremony for the village road project here on Tuesday (July 30). – Bernama
