Pahang seeks long-term solution to shallow stretches of Sungai Pahang

The Pahang government is investigating long-term solutions to address shallow stretches of Sungai Pahang in specific areas, such as Kampung Pesagi. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail is requesting a comprehensive report from local authorities to identify the most suitable measures, including short-term, medium-term, and long-term strategies.

The river's condition is crucial for the state government to formulate effective actions, considering its impact on the economy and residents' activities. Wan Rosdy emphasized that the government's priorities include pipe replacement projects for water supply and energy infrastructure development. The Tenaga Nasional Berhad project, involving a RM350 million investment and expected completion by 2030, aims to enhance Pahang's energy system and attract investors.

The implementation of various projects is crucial for boosting the state's economy, creating jobs, and improving residents' well-being.
