Infrastructure For Tanjung Agas Complex To Be Ready By 2011

KUANTAN, 17 Nov (Bernama) -- The Pahang state assembly was Tuesday told that the road and technical infrastructure for the Tanjong Agas Oil, Gas and Maritime Industrial Park in Pekan was expected to be fully completed by early 2011.

Pahang Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakub said this when replying to a question from Leong Ngah Ngah during the assembly 2010 budget sitting here.

He said among the investors of the park were Vantech Dockyard Sdn Bhd, Syarikat Usetech Marine (M) Sdn Bhd, Bitara Abadi Sdn Bhd, Core Competencies Sdn Bhd, Damini Corporation Sdn Bhd and Competent Selections Sdn Bhd.

Meanwhile, State Housing, Basic Amenities and Transport Committee Chairman Datuk Ir Mohd Soffi Tan Sri Abdul Razak said water subsidy had been given by the state government to the people of Pahang since 1982 but this had not been stated in their bills.

"However, the subsidy has been posted in the bills since August this year to inform the public on the government's expenditure in providing clean water supply, thus to create awareness among consumers use the water efficiently," he said when replying to a question by Choong Siew Onn (DAP-Tras).
