PUTRAJAYA: Rural and Regional Development Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal is confident that 30 percent of basic rural infrastructure projects under the National Key Result Areas (NKRA) will be ready by year end.

"Some projects for the poor like roads, water, electricity and longhouses which began last year will be completed by April," he said after chairing the NKRA rural infrastructure meeting here today.

Shafie said 181 road projects were implemented last year while 19 projects in peninsula, 15 in Sabah and two in Sarawak would be completed by April.

Eighty-seven longhouses in Nanga Tada, Nanga Ngungun, Nanga Jangau and Nanga Skuau, Sarawak would also be repaired.

He said 750km of roads and 24,967 homes nationwide would also be supplied with electricity by year end.

Some 70,000 homes in Sukau would also be supplied with clean water with completion of the water treatment plant at Sukau, Sabah in May.
