IPOH: The works Ministry will submit its list of projects to be completed to the Economic Planning Unit ( EPU) next week for the midterm review of the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP).

Minister Datuk Seri S Vellu said priority would be given to projects which had already received the letter of acceptance.

"Besides that, other projects include those already approved by the Cabinet which support or complement all the development regions like the Northern Corridor," he said.

Samy Vellu said the number of projects on the list was identified based on the level of importance and urgency.

"For example, there are still many roads which need to be upgraded and linked to the main cities," he said.

He added that the projects would kick off once Parliament gave approval to the working papers.

Samy Vellu said the ministry had spent 60% of its RM20bil allocation for projects under the 9MP.

On a separate matter, Samy Vellu said a new football field and possibly a clubhouse for youths would be built in Felda Lasah, near here. He said the Youth and Sports Ministry has agreed to provide RM260.000 to construct the field.

"I will ask its minister (Datuk Seri) Azalina Othman for a further RM80,000 to build the clubhouse," he said.

At the function earlier, Samy Vellu, distributed RM2,000 each to 63 village heads in the Sungai Siput parliamentary constituency to carry out small projects.
