JOHOR BAHRU (Jan 16): The Johor State Government will ensure that all development and strategic investments, including large-scale projects in the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), will not compromise the basic needs of residents, particularly electricity and water supply, which remain a top priority. “TNB has reported that electricity supply in the JS-SEZ is sufficient and under control. “Johor is also planning and implementing five new water treatment plants (WTPs) and riverside water reservoir (TAPS) projects in collaboration with RSAJ, the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) and Pengurusan Aset Air Bhd (PAAB). Carried out in phases, these projects will not only ensure sufficient water supply but also support the state’s growth until 2035. “Overall, these projects will provide more than 1,100 MLD of new capacity, ensuring that water supply remains adequate, stable and secure for residents, while supporting long-term industrial and economic development without affecting public supply,” he said.
