GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) fully supports Kedah’s claim for Federal compensation to conserve Ulu Muda forest, provided they first gazette it as a water catchment area, says its chief executive officer Datuk Jaseni Maidinsa.

He said the money for the compensation towards Kedah could be derived from the tax pool in which the Federal Government obtained from economic activities from Perlis, Kedah and Penang.

“As such, we strongly support Kedah being compensated, but only after they gazette Ulu Muda as a water catchment area. “The primary focus should be to conserve Ulu Muda in a permanent and sustainable manner, as it is an irreplaceable natural asset as the largest and most important water catchment area in the northern region," he added.

“The study has just started, and it will take nine months to complete, so we are expecting results only next year.“This is because from 2025 onwards, Sungai Muda cannot meet anymore additional demands,” he added.
