“MRP grants are for you to carry out social activities for the participation of the members. When you write in to request for assistance, I considered and approved the grants.
“Since this is government money, it is a requirement that you carry out the activities submitted in your request and at the same time you are required to file a report for official records,” he said.
Jamit also thanked Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg for approving various projects during his recent official visit here.
The projects are an alternative road from the Bletih State Complex to Jalan Airport, upgrading Jalan Ulu Sungai Selirik to the Baleh Bridge from R3 to R5 standard, and Tunoh Airport.
