We plan to extend this PDL construction model to Kedah with the cooperation of the same architect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>In a report last month, Lim announced that the government through the Northern Corridor Implementation Authority (NCIA) had approved a RM15 million allocation for building a digital library in Alor Setar, Kedah. \u2014 Bernama<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GEORGE TOWN, July 6 \u2014 China\u2019s leading technology company Huawei is expected to visit the Penang&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1398,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1397","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-external-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 -
