Seen as a solution to the water shortage problem faced by residents in the district, he said the project would store river water rather than let it flow untreated into the South China Sea. “The project is now at its design stage by Pengurusan Air Pahang Berhad and we will look at its effectiveness before extending it to other areas in the future,” he told reporters after officiating the launch and handing over of offer letters of the Rumah Makmur and Pahang 1Malaysia People’s Homes housing schemes in Bandar Tun Abdul Razak, Jengka, here today.
