KUALA NERUS: The Terengganu state government has been allocated RM15mil by Putrajaya through the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry this year to enhance infrastructure and basic facilities in the state's island and coastal areas. This is in addition to RM29mil through the same channel last year for similar improvements ahead of Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026), said state tourism, culture, environment, and climate change committee chairman Datuk Razali Idris. "These funds were provided following the state’s application, and to date, over 70% of the infrastructure and upgrading projects have been completed. "This includes the repair of ageing jetties at popular islands,” he told reporters on Thursday (Jan 1) after the launch of the national entry point and major transport hubs event at Sultan Mahmud Airport in conjunction with VM2026.
