Pahang-Selangor raw water tunnel expected to be launched today

A day after finally getting the Selangor state government to allow the construction of Langat 2 project, the federal government is expected to announce the Pahang-Selangor raw water tunnel project, Thursday.

With the project, a water tunnel of 44.6 kilometre will be built to connect water source in Pahang and Hulu Langat, Selangor.

This was confirmed by the Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry in a press invite, Wednesday.

However, the location of the water source in Pahang is yet to be confirmed.

The project launch is expected to be held on Thursday morning.

The Federal government on Wednesday had signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Selangor state government to end water woes in the state.

With the agreement, the Selangor state government can now carry out its water restructuring exercise.
