Sungai Perak in Lenggong, Perka, which is the proposed abstraction area for the Sungai Perak raw water transfer scheme.
Despite a national policy where a state can only transfer raw water to another state, the Perak government is pushing to sell treated water to Penang, Ramasamy said. “The ministry’s lack of an independent stand on water transfer seems rather baffling. Why this is so is not clear. Currently, Penang draws water from Sungai Muda, a river it shares with Kedah. Penang will be able to meet demands by extracting water from this river until 2025.
He gave the current examples of raw water transfer between Penang and Kedah, Johor and Melaka, and Johor and Singapore. The idea to extract water from Perak began in 2009. The plan was to pump water out of Sungai Perak and channel it to Sungai Ijok, in north Perak.
