With the commissioning of Package 12A, we have effectively increased Penang’s overall maximum water treatment capacity by 114 MLD (million litres per day), from 1,612 MLD to 1,726 MLD," said Pathmanathan. "With increased treatment capacity in hand, PBAPP will now focus on upgrading Penang’s water distribution network [or pipeline network] to deliver more treated water to our customers."
It is carrying out this through the implementation of the three major pipeline projects, comprising a 13km pipeline project in Seberang Perai, from the Sungai Dua plant to Butterworth (RM128 million), a 3.9km pipeline on Penang island, from Macallum area to the Bukit Dumbar Reservoir and Pumping Station Complex (RM44 million), and the Sungai Perai River-Crossing Pipeline Project in Seberang Perai (RM17 million).

PBA runs the risk of serving the public rather than maximising shareholder value, a political animal as it is.

In bursa, only 2 water treatment stock listed in bursa. PBA and Ranhill.
PBA is 69% control by Penang gov, of course need take care of domestic water user as show by PBA given subsidy RM 110m as subsidy at shareholder expense, but, in turn of profitability, PBA still deliver awesome profit and give dividend
On the other hand, Ranhill SAJ, johor water operator, is 20% control by Johor gov and 80% control by listed Ranhill utilities should be more profit oriented, without given any subsidy, but, in turn of profitability, Ranhill cann't deliver good profit at all.

The total investment RM 1.1 billion to build new pipeline, built new water treatment plant, built new pipe connecting dam to water treatment plant are all will be capitalized as new assets to PBA without affect PBA profitability in quarter result. These is because new investment assets is capex which is new assets in reporting Q result. It is NOT opex, it is NOT opoerating expense cost that will offset profit

Penang launches incentives to attract chip design firms, engineers
KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 28): The Penang government on Saturday launched an incentive programme to attract chip design firms and engineers to the Bayan Lepas Industrial Park and designated surrounding area.
The ‘Penang Silicon Design @5km+’ zone will provide annual subsidies worth up to RM2 million over three years, according to a statement from Invest Penang. The incentives will be available to both local and foreign integrated circuit (IC) design firms based in Malaysia.
“As Penang continues to attract more strategic investors, there is a need to establish conducive facilities that can accommodate high-value activities in Penang,” said Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
Penang is home to some of the largest global electrical and electronics companies, including semiconductor giants Intel and Infineon Technologies, as well as major electronics manufacturers such as medical device maker B Braun and power tool company Bosch.
The state also already hosts 28 local and foreign companies related to IC design. To lure more investments, Penang had also previously launched the IC Design and Digital Park and Chip Design Academy, both in May.
Penang has committed RM60 million to propel the latest initiative forward, and the state government is asking for a matching grant of RM60 million from the federal government, Invest Penang said.
The incentives include up to full subsidies for rent, utilities, and parking at state-owned properties, as well as for the use of certain equipment and tools at shared incubation spaces and stakeholder facilities.
To ensure the success of the Penang Silicon Design @5km+, the initiative is governed by an executive council. An advisory panel, consisting of industry representatives, academia and government agencies, will advise and provide recommendations to the council.
By the end of 2024, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is expected to officiate state-owned GBS TechSpace, a 36,000 sq ft facility designed to accommodate up to eight IC design companies and at least 300 IC design engineers.
“At the very heart of our digital economy growth are the chips that power digital technologies,” underscoring the importance of the semiconductor and IC design industry, said Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo. “We must take concrete steps to maintain our mark in this sphere

Penang is looking to attract US$115 billion (about RM492 billion) in investments by 2030 by tapping into the front end. However, it needs to upgrade the current infrastructure to meet the rising demand for water and electricity first.
A massive overhead power transmission line is expected to be ready by the end of the year to help meet the growing electricity demand. This new transmission line, part of a 275 kV project, will deliver a capacity of 2,000 MW from the mainland to Penang Island.
Currently, the island’s peak demand is around 800 to 1,000 MW. The new capacity will also support upcoming developments, such as Silicon Island and the industrial area expansion.
Besides needing more energy, the state is tackling a critical water shortage. The spike in water demand between 2019 and 2023 has strained resources, coinciding with the semiconductor boom.
The state has committed RM1.18 billion to water infrastructure projects to address this issue and ensure a stable supply until 2030. A stable supply of water and electricity is vital for the semiconductor industry, as even brief outages can lead to millions of dollars in losses.

Silicon Island (Penang state gov own 30% stake), spanning more than 2,300 acres of reclaimed land off the southern coast of Penang Island, will be a new job centre, where 30% of the available development land will be turned into industrial zones; 40% for infrastructure; and the rest for housing, mixed development and commercial purposes.
“And maybe a new administrative centre as well,” he adds.
It has been reported that the first factory on Silicon Island is projected to begin construction in 2026 and expected to be operational by 2027.
Remark: Silicon Island will see the construction of the high-technology industrial park, Green Tech Park (GTP); global business services and software hub (or GBS Campus); commercial development; housing, as well as green recreational areas which are expected to generate a gross domestic product of RM1.1 trillion, investment of RM74.7 billion and 220,000 employment opportunities.

GEORGE TOWN: Penang has given two thumbs up to the announcement of the implementation of the Juru- Sungai Dua Elevated Highway project presented in the 2025 Budget by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today.
"The Prime Minister's announcement regarding this project is highly welcomed. We hope its implementation can be expedited due to its urgent necessity," said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
The RM1.8 billion Juru-Sungai Dua Elevated Highway was one of the key projects that Penang submitted to Putrajaya.
Additionally, he expressed appreciation for the announcement of a new Urban Transformation Centre (UTC) in the Seberang Prai area, which he said would enhance the quality of public services at UTC @ Komtar
Regarding the development agenda for wakaf land by federal agencies, Chow said that the state government supported UDA Holdings Berhad's initiatives, as they aligned with requests from various parties, including NGOs, to redevelop Malay settlements and increase property holdings, particularly on the island.
Furthermore, he said the budget had announced several other federal project implementations specifically for Penang, including the raw water supply project from the Perak River for water supply in northern Perak and Penang, the Penang Light Rail Transit (LRT), the expansion of Penang International Airport (PIA) and the Batu Kawan Industrial Park 3.
All these projects are expected to contribute significantly to the state's overall development. Therefore, I hope their implementation will be expedited and adhere to the proposed timelines," he said.
On the education front, Chow said Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) was pursuing AI semiconductors in line with Malaysia's status as a global semiconductor hub, enhancing collaborations with companies like Intel and Infineon.
