Pahang-Selangor Raw Water Project On Track

KUANTAN, Nov 24 (Bernama) -- Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob said the project to channel raw water from the state to Selangor has been going on smoothly and was expected to be fully completed in May 2014.

He said that until the end of last month, 17 per cent of the project had been carried out.

"Tenders have been called for all components of the project. Two of the tenders have been awarded and are being implemented while two others are expected to be awarded at the end of the year," Adnan said in reply to a question from Datuk Dr Ng Keong Chye (BN-Ketari) on the progress of the project at the Pahang state assembly sitting, here Wednesday.

The menteri besar said the two awarded components were the construction of a water supply tunnel and related works and the intake point, pumphouse and related works, all of which were on schedule.

The two other components to be awarded were the construction of the Kelau Dam and related works and the construction of mains and related works, he added.

When replying to a question from Datuk Aziz Mat Kiram (BN-Batu Talam) on illegal logging in Pahang, Adnan said the state government undertook enforcement measures, including patrolling sensitive areas by helicopter and using latest technology to detect timber theft. -- BERNAMA
