Exclusively for Malay Mail readers: Use codeKOTA KINABALU, Dec 19 — More digitisation and automated processes can help projects approved under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) meet its scheduled completion, federal Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli said today. He acknowledged the operational issues and speed bumps in the process, but said that his ministry is planning to include more digitisation and automated processes to prevent delays in implementation and avoid the accumulation of problematic projects. “For instance, project applications are now submitted digitally through a portal. Previously, applications involved physical letters, which were time-consuming to process. “We’ve also integrated tools like Google Maps to verify project locations efficiently, reducing the chances of misuse or inappropriate proposals,” he told reporters here after attending an engagement session with the Sabah government on the 13MP, held at the Pacific Sutera Hotel. He said the implementation of online submissions and the use of tools like Google Maps have significantly expedited the approval process compared to in the past, when applications were submitted in letters. “Imagine, people would ask for roads to be built right up to their doorstep. So we have to check and be careful. That’s why projects can get delayed,” he said, adding that the vetting and approval team consisted of only five people. Rafizi added that the ministry hopes to increase staff but noted that doing so would incur additional expense
