PAPAR: Kampung Kaiduan has been selected by the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) as a Madani Foster Village.
KPDN Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said with the selection Kampung Kaiduan would receive a special development allocation of RM2.5 million provided by the Federal Government.

According to him, the Madani Government has allocated RM100 million for the programme, and each federal ministry is asked to select any village in the country as a Madani Foster Village.
“Kampung Kaiduan was chosen as a Madani Foster Village because aside from being close to my heart, this village also has potential due to its focus on eco-tourism, thanks to its natural beauty and flora.
“At the same time, this village is still below 50 per cent in terms of development, such as basic facilities and infrastructure, thus meeting the criteria set for this programme,” he said after officiating the Launch of KPDN’s Madani Foster Village at SK Kaiduan, here, Friday.
Armizan, who is also Papar Member of Parliament, said his Ministry would discuss with the village community their needs regarding the special allocation to improve essential development and the socio-economic status of the residents.
