JanaWibawa projects worth RM7.2 billion cancelled

Some RM7.2 billion worth of projects awarded to JanaWibawa Programme contractors involving the rural and regional development ministry have been cancelled, says Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The deputy prime minister said the decision to cancel the tenders was made by the finance ministry, and that the projects would be re-tendered.

"We know that there is some disruption in terms of implementation. Rest assured that if the ethics and regulations are followed, it will be done immediately.

"God willing, the projects will be completed within the specified period," he said to reporters in Machang yesterday.
