PUTRAJAYA: The Northern Corridor Implementation Authority (NCIA) has roped in RM1.96 billion as a result of its collaboration with the private sector in four projects in each of the states under its purview.
Among the projects are the development of the first mall cum four-star hotel in Taiping, Perak, and a luxury boutique hotel in Langkawi.
NCIA chief executive Datuk Redza Rafique said the four projects were aimed at ensuring the local communities in the northern region would be able to benefit through job creation.
The projects are expected to generate 3,650 jobs and business opportunities.
“Putting aside the investment amount, our ultimate objective in Koridor Utara (Northern Corridor) is to pursue the agenda of growth with social equity,” said Redza.
