The target is to build 1 1 times as many kilometers of roads, 2. 5 times as many houses, 5 times as many houses with electricity and connect seven times as many houses to clean water during the activation of the GET. 1,900 km of the planned roads will be in Saba and Karakas. The achievement of this will mean that 91. 4% of the population will be living within a five kilometer radius to a paved road by 2010 in Peninsular Malaysia.
