Penang backs plan to set up Muda River Basin Authority

GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) fully supports the proposal to set up a Muda River Basin Authority (MRBA).

Its chief executive officer Datuk Jaseni Maidinsa said this was in line with a statement by the Environment and Water Ministry’s (Kasa’s) secretary-general Datuk Seri Dr Zaini Ujang last April 30 that the formation of MRBA would resolve the dispute between Kedah and Penang over the Sungai Muda water resources.
