Plan for new dam near Sg Mersing
Plan for new dam near Sg Mersing
The Government plans to build a new dam along Sungai Mersing to reduce the dependence on the Congok dam which has been recording low water levels.
SAJ Holdings Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Abdul Wahab Abdul Hamid (pic) said the project was provided for under the 11th Malaysian Plan.
“The Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry is conducting feasibility studies on the proposed new dam in the area,” he said yesterday.
Abdul Wahab said there was no water source for the Congok dam except from the rain.
And for the past three years, there has been less rainfall causing the water level at the dam, which supplies water to 11,000 account holders, to decrease at an alarming rate.
“Normally, we are able to get about 1.8m to 2m of rainfall within a year but due to the El Nino effect, we received about one third of rain water causing the situation to worsen,” he added.
He also pointed out that the Congok dam was not big and that the authorities were taking proactive measures to solve the water woes by deepening it to double its storage capabilities.
He said the state government, through the Johor Water Regulating Body, hoped to conduct water transfer from Sungai Lenggor to Congok dam.
He said a consultant had been appointed to oversee the project where a 27km-long pipeline would be installed to channel the water.
On the water woes in Kluang, Abdul Wahab said that SAJ had been given permission by the National Water Services Commission to carry out scheduled water supply until Sept 14 to about 56,000 account holders.
v The water level at Sungai Sembrong Kiri has decreased causing treatment plants at Sembrong Timur and Sembrong Barat to be affected.
Heavy rainfalls that occurred in the past several days had increased the water level at the river slightly and the situation was still being monitored, he said, adding that the RM100mil Kahang dam was expected to be completed next year.

水坝近见底‧丰盛港实行配水 不堪干旱居民求雨
章莪水坝近见底‧丰盛港实行配水 不堪干旱居民求雨
■面对百年来最严重的干旱情况，章莪水坝附近不仅干涸出现裂痕，甚至已见底。
丰盛港章莪水坝面临最严重的干旱情况，以致柔佛水务控股有限公司被迫在当地进行3天配水一次措施，让当地居民苦不堪言，早前甚至有200名居民“求雨”，希望水坝尽快恢复水位。
据了解，丰盛港地区自今年3月起就开始落实2天没水1天有水措施，但由于当地一直没有下雨，水坝干涸情况日益严重，甚至被喻为百年来最严重的一次，以致配水情况恶化，变成3天没有1天有水，预计有8200用户受影响。
根据《每日新闻》报导，本月20日，更有200名居民受不了制水情况未改善，一同到水坝附近“求雨”，及祈求天气勿再那么炎热。

丰盛港现20令吉假钞．小贩收到“复印钞”
丰盛港出现20令吉假钞，有不法之徒趁业者，尤其是巴刹小贩忙碌时，用复印的20令吉假钞购物，让受骗业者蒙受损失。
假钞的质地粗糙，元首肖像水印也无法显现，甚至每张假钞的编码都一样。（图：星洲日报）
丰盛港出现20令吉假钞，有不法之徒趁业者，尤其是巴刹小贩忙碌时，用复印的20令吉假钞购物，让受骗业者蒙受损失。
收到假钞的巴刹杂货店业者杨女士称，她之前已听闻有业者受骗，没想到自己也收到假钞。
质地粗糙编码一样
她说：“我不知何时收到假钞，相信是不法之徒趁我忙碌时用假钞购物；最近有人发现多位陌生青年男子，在巴刹附近出现并正在分配钞票。”
“根据我的观察，假钞质地非常粗糙，左边空白处的元首肖像水印也无法显现，甚至印在每张假钞上的编码都一样。”
她希望藉由讲述自己的经历，提醒商家和民众警惕，以免不法之徒再得逞。
