    PBAPP Seeks Another Cloud Seeding Move to Fill Penang Dams

    PBAPP seeks another cloud seeding move to fill Penang dams (File pic) The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) is seeking for a second series of six additional cloud seeding operations next month to replenish two dams. -NSTP/MIKAIL ONG By Audrey Dermawan - May 28, 2020 @ 6:36pm GEORGE TOWN: The Penang Water Supply Corporation (PBAPP) is seeking for a second series of six additional cloud seeding operations next month to replenish two dams that were still below the 50 per cent capacity mark. The two dams are the Air Itam Dam and Teluk Bahang Dam. Cloud seeding operations conducted between April 25 and yesterday have helped to increase the effective capacities of both dams, but these were still not enough to boost the water levels. The maximum effective capacity of the Air Itam Dam is 2.16 billion litres, while the maximum effective capacity of the Teluk Bahang Dam is 18.24 billion litres. The effective capacity of the Teluk Bahang Dam is 8.4 times more than the effective capacity of the Air Itam Dam. PBAPP chief executive officer Datuk Jaseni Maidinsa said while there had been improvements following the earlier cloud seeding operations, the effective capacities of both dams were still below normal levels. https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2020/05/596030/pbapp-seeks-another-cloud-seeding-move-fill-penang-dams "In March, the Penang government approved a first series of 10 cloud seeding operations over Penang and Kedah. To date, six cloud seeding operations have been carried out with four more to go. "PBAPP is requesting for a second series of six additional cloud seeding operations in June to maximise potential rainfall yield and refill the Air Itam Dam and Teluk Bahang Dam as much as possible," he said today.

    18/9/2016 OFFICIAL LAUNCHING OF BUKIT DUMBAR PUMPING STATION 2 Community Home > Metro > Community Tuesday, 20 September 2016 Southern Penang gets uninterrupted water supply CONTINUOUS good water supply to the Bayan Lepas Free Trade Zone, Penang International Airport and southern parts of Penang island is now better guaranteed following the commission of a new water pump station at Bukit Dumbar. Called BD2, it could pump up to 270 million litres of water per day (MLD) to serve 315,000 people living in the southern parts of the island. PBAPP senior chargeman Mohd Yusri Awang checking the reading of a pump at the newly opened Bukit Dumbar Pump Station 2 in Penang. Its service areas cover Gelugor, Batu Uban, Sungai Nibong, Bayan Baru, Relau, Sungai Ara, Batu Maung, Bayan Lepas, Permatang Damar Laut, Teluk Kumbar, Gertak Sanggul, Genting and Balik Pulau. Penang Water Supply Corporation Sdn Bhd (PBAPP) chief executive officer Datuk Jaseni Maidinsa said the RM11.9mil BD2 would complement the operations of the Bukit Dumbar Pump Station 1 (BD1) that had been in service since 1980. He said it would improve pumping efficiency of water from the Sungai Dua Water Treatment Plant on the mainland to southern areas of the island which were undergoing rapid socio-economic development. “Treated water from the Sungai Dua plant is delivered to Bukit Dumbar daily via twin submarine pipeline,” Jaseni said at the launching of BD2 on Sunday. He said BD2 would also reduce pumping costs to the Bukit Gedong Reservoir daily to support the treated water needs of Teluk Kumbar, Gertak Sanggul and Balik Pulau.

    ASPEN (GROUP) HOLDINGS LIMITED Company Registration No.: 201634750K (Incorporated in the Republic of Singapore) RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS FROM SECURITIES INVESTORS ASSOCIATION (SINGAPORE) ON ANNUAL REPORT 2019 The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Aspen (Group) Holdings Limited (the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) refers to the questions raised by the Securities Investors Association (Singapore) (“SIAS”) relating to the Company’s Annual Report for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 (“Annual Report 2019”) and appends the replies as follows: SIAS Question 1: As noted in the Corporate milestones, in 2019, the group completed the Vervea commercial precinct which is the first phase of Aspen Vision City’s masterplan. This was followed by the opening of Ikea and IKEA Meeting Place in March 2019 and December 2019 respectively. The group is targeting to complete Vertu Resort and Beacon Executive Suites in 2021, although the completion dates may be delayed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Other projects include: - Vivo Executive Apartment (expected TOP: 2023) - Viluxe (Phase1) (expected TOP: 2023) - Vogue Lifestyle Residence As at 31 December 2019, TRI PINNACLE and Beacon Executive Suites have achieved sales of 91% and 64% respectively. Vervea and Vertu Resort are 89% and 71% sold respectively. (i) With sales of 91% achieved, there are approximately 110-120 units left at TRI PINNACLE. What are management’s plans for the remaining units of TRI PINNACLE? The TOP for the project was obtained in December 2018. (ii) Can management confirm that it is the group’s strategy to sell the units in commercial developments (for example, Vervea) and thus it would not be building up an investment portfolio for recurring income at this stage of the group’s growth? It was stated the group envisioned the investments in Aloft Hotel, the Regional Integrated Shopping Centre and the Shah Alam Integrated Logistics Hub would contribute to its recurring income in years to come.
