PUTRAJAYA, Oct 6 — The Sungai Golok Integrated River Basin (PLSB) project in Kelantan saw its contract value increase from RM198.02 million to RM601.20 million following adjustments to the project scope based on technical requirements and conditions during implementation.

The Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (Petra) said the adjustments included upgrading the Security and Development (KESBAN) road to federal road standards, as well as modifications to the spillway structures, bridge construction and pump house design.

“Adjustments to the scope and design were made to ensure the infrastructure meets functional, safety and long-term durability requirements, while taking into account risks associated with extreme weather and climate change.
