Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 51279, member: 636"] Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim slammed critics who spread lies about federal neglect of Terengganu during his appearance at the state capital. The leader fired back at opposition claims by revealing massive development spending that reaches nearly two billion ringgit. Anwar challenged village speakers to explain away the approved RM1.836 billion allocation when they peddle false stories about government abandonment. Federal authorities pumped RM239 million more into Terengganu compared with previous year funding levels. The prime minister defended his administration against accusations of regional favoritism during the closing ceremony of a major public program. Government planners approved 445 separate programs and projects under the latest development blueprint for the east coast state. Broadband expansion will connect over 15,000 households in remote districts including Hulu Terengganu and Besut areas. Water system upgrades worth RM300 million will boost piped supply coverage to 98 percent by year end. Flood prevention and coastal protection efforts received a staggering RM2.243 billion commitment from federal coffers. Anwar discussed new erosion control technologies with the state chief minister to accelerate protective measures. The finance minister witnessed a ceremonial RM158.6 million handover for federal road maintenance during the three-day event. Anwar picked Terengganu as a showcase location because the predominantly Malay state achieved educational excellence rather than ethnic considerations. The leader urged cooperation between different government levels while rejecting divisive campaign tactics. Political unity serves national interests better than constant federal-state tensions according to the prime minister. [/QUOTE]
