KUALA LIPIS – The Pahang government is looking to provide 10,000 helmets for youths in the state under Budget 2027, which is expected to be tabled soon.
Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said the initiative was among the requests made by youths based on feedback received by the state government.
“We found that young people were asking the government to provide helmets, and they wanted good-quality ones. God willing, their request will be fulfilled.
“I have discussed this, and we are looking to provide 10,000 quality helmets for these young people. That is final, and we have made the decision,” he said.
He was responding to a viewer’s question about assistance for youths under Pahang Budget 2027 during the Sinar Harian Town Hall Rakyat programme at Dewan Jubli Perak Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah here on Monday.
Wan Rosdy also said the state government had agreed to increase the allocation for assistance to cooperatives from RM600,000 to RM1 million next year.
“Cooperatives recently applied for assistance, and we allocated RM600,000. They requested an increase for next year, and I agreed to raise the allocation from RM600,000 to RM1 million. More announcements will follow,” he said.
He said Pahang Budget 2027, expected to be tabled in late November or early December, would focus on three main areas: the welfare of the people, economic development and the future of the state.
The budget carries the theme “Pahang First, Rakyat Diutamakan, Kemakmuran Dipertahankan”.
