“Of that amount, RM4.16 million is channelled through MPHS, while RM664,000 is allocated to MPKK in Hulu Selangor,” he said at the Sentuhan Kasih KPKT programme in Hulu Selangor today. The event was held in conjunction with Nga's working visit to Kuala Kubu Baharu.
Nga said among the projects to be implemented through this allocation were the repair and upgrading of 10 MPHS stalls at Jalan Abdul Hamid and the Rasa Public Market.
During the visit, he also launched the Jalan Padang Tembak Volunteer Fire Brigade and announced an allocation of RM10,000 to enhance the efficiency of the volunteer team.

“It is part of the RM50 million financial assistance allocated by the government to non-Muslim places of worship organisations nationwide,” he said.
