KUANTAN: The ground-breaking ceremony for the Pahang state government's new administration complex was launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in Kota SAS here.
The entire project will be built in two phases on 62.5 acres of land.
The first phase of the project involving 47.2 acres will house the new state assembly building, Mentri Besar and state secretary office, as well as state and federal government agencies.
