Perak is seeking at least RM1.4 billion in the upcoming Federal Budget for key water infrastructure projects, including a water transfer project from Sungai Perak to Bukit Merah to support farmers facing drought. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad highlighted the project as a priority, with the infrastructure expected to be operational by 2030 or 2031.
The first component of the project involves infrastructure such as pumps and water tunnels, which will be funded by the Federal Government through the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry. The second component could be financed through Khazanah Air Perak, a consortium involving the state government and a subsidiary of the Perak State Agricultural Development Corporation.
