The Perak housing, local government and tourism committee chairman said the work taking place along Jalan Dato Tahwil Azar might appear to have halted but it was still ongoing.“There were some delays earlier because of the Covid-19 pandemic, movement control orders and also some issues with the procurement of materials,” she told reporters after the launch of a Tourism Police Unit in Ipoh.“I was informed that this could be resolved and it would be completed this year,” she added.
The roof project was announced by Ipoh mayor Datuk Rumaizi Baharin in September 2020 and was initially expected to be completed in March this year. On a separate matter, Nolee Ashilin said Ipoh City Council was now in the midst of looking for another concessionaire to manage the Tasik Cermin Eco-Park.
