PBA says key work on the pipeline and pumping station for the Mengkuang dam remain unfinished. FMTNews Penang

PBA CEO Jaseni Maidinsa with Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow and Seberang Perai City Council mayor Rozali Mohamud at the Mengkuang Dam during a recent visit.

Its CEO Jaseni Maidinsa said key work on the pipeline and pumping station worth some RM180 million remained uncompleted and might prove troublesome if left undone. “We have advised the Penang government to accept a conditional handover of the dam, provided that the federal government confirms its commitment to completing and commissioning the remaining phases of the expansion,” he said.

According to him, another RM100 million had also been allocated in April 2018 for a new barrage at Sungai Muda on the Seberang Perai side near Penaga, the cost of which was to be borne by Putrajaya as well.
