Majlis yang berlangsung hampir dua jam tersebut turut dihadiri isteri Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail dan Menteri Besar Selangor, Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari.

The projects in question are the construction of Pan Borneo Highway Sabah Phase 1B; Penang Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project; expansion of Penang International Airport; redevelopment of Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Subang; and the upgrade of the East-West Highway from Gerik, Perak to Jeli, Kelantan.

Menurutnya, pengguna dijangka menerima bekalan air secara berperingkat bermula pada 3 pagi, 6 Jun setelah kerja-kerja berkenaan siap dan seterusnya apabila sistem agihan utama bekalan air distabilkan.

Amirudin said it was with a sense of compassion and care on the part of the government that the scheme was first initiated over 10 years ago.

He is confident that the process could be completed according to schedule as the state government is cooperating and the contractor has experience resolving land acquisition issues in three East Coast states, namely Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang.
