Continuation of Pilah Development a Priority

Pakatan Harapan candidate for the Pilah state constituency, Datuk Noorzunita Begum Mohd. Ibrahim, has declared that the continuation of development projects benefiting the populace is a top priority should she be elected. She stressed the importance of holistic development, encompassing infrastructure, education, health, employment opportunities, and welfare, while ensuring that the voices of the people remain central to addressing community needs and issues.

Noorzunita highlighted the state government's achievements under Pakatan Harapan's administration in Kuala Pilah. Among the significant accomplishments she cited are the development of Dataran Melang, now a popular community spot, and the realization of the 2018 manifesto promise to build Taman Bandar Besar in each district. These developments, she noted, have provided long-term benefits to the community.

A particularly impactful project mentioned is the upgrade of the 16.3-kilometer Seremban-Kuala Pilah road to four lanes, scheduled for completion in July 2026. This enhancement is expected to significantly improve connectivity and stimulate tourism in Kuala Pilah. Additionally, the maintenance of village roads and local authority-managed roads contributes to better infrastructure for residents.

Noorzunita also underscored the need for continued development to ensure young people in Kuala Pilah have access to the same opportunities as those in other parts of Negeri Sembilan. She aims to foster economic growth alongside job creation, enabling more young individuals to remain and work in their hometown. Her vision includes comprehensive development that considers the needs of all societal segments, extending beyond physical infrastructure to include education, economy, health, and welfare.

Regarding education, Noorzunita plans to strengthen educational facilities, providing greater access to learning opportunities. She pointed to existing institutions like matriculation colleges and UiTM in Kuala Pilah and expressed a desire to establish more accessible learning centers. The welfare of senior citizens is also a key concern, though details on specific plans for their care were cut short in the provided text.
