A RM43 million irrigation project from Sungai Keraibang to Kampung Pinang aims to improve water supply and address low padi yields among Klebang farmers.
MELAKA: Improvements to the padi irrigation system in Kampung Pinang, Klebang, are among the key issues being addressed to ensure a more efficient water supply and improve farmers’ yields in the area.
Finance Minister’s Political Secretary Muhammad Kamil Abdul Munim said water pumps were already available, but the distribution methods and irrigation channels needed to be reviewed and better coordinated to meet the needs of the affected padi fields.
He said immediate solutions needed to be explored while awaiting the construction of a permanent water channel, estimated to cost RM43 million, from Sungai Keraibang to the padi fields.
