State Govt Rebrands Free Water Programme As ‘Pahang 1st', To Benefit 38,000 Consumers
KUANTAN, Aug 6 (Bernama) -- The Pahang government will implement the 'Pahang 1st' free water programme, which benefits around 38,000 consumers across the state.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, in a statement today, said the initiative is a rebranding of the 'Air Makmur' rebate programme (RAM), which provides 20 cubic metres (m³) of free water per month to targeted groups, with an annual allocation of RM7.3 million.
'This move is based on the improved financial position of the state government and Pengurusan Air Pahang Berhad (PAIP),' he said, adding that the decision was approved by the State Executive Council.
