KEDAH Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor has been asked to explain the latest scheduling of electricity supply to Kedah Rubber City (KRC) in Padang Sanai near Kuala Nerang. 

Kedah Umno liaison committee chairman Mahdzir Khalid said despite efforts by the state government, the matter has yet to be resolved, causing anxiety to investors.

“It would be better if there was a state schedule that details when the land acquisition is ready … The problem is that there is no timeline and until today I do not see when the electricity will be supplied. This is one of the areas of concern,” Mahdzir said.

He was met at the launch of the Pedu and Kuala Nerang election machinery today. 

Mahdzir said electricity to KRC should be connected from Tanjung Pauh, Jitra, over 42km, as the industrial area consumes a lot of electricity.

Located on a 503ha site and developed by the Northern Corridor Implementation Authority and the Kedah government, KRC is the first national rubber industrial park in Malaysia. – Bernama, July 27, 2023.
