  • 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.

  • Penang, Malaysia
    PENANG, MALAYSIA INCENTIVE TRAVEL 2018 MALAYSIA Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country occupying parts of the Malay Peninsula and the island of Borneo. It's known for its beaches, rainforests and mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European cultural influences. The capital, Kuala Lumpur, is home to colonial buildings, busy shopping districts such as Bukit Bintang and skyscrapers such as the iconic, 451m-tall Petronas Twin Towers. Malaysia has its origins in the Malay kingdoms present in the area which, from the 18th century, became subject to the British Empire. The first British territories were known as the Straits Settlements, whose establishment was followed by the Malay kingdoms becoming British protectorates. The territories on Peninsular Malaysia were first unified as the Malayan Union in 1946. Malaya was restructured as the Federation of Malaya in 1948, and achieved independence on 31 August 1957. Malaya united with North Borneo, Sarawak, and Singapore on 16 September 1963 to become Malaysia. Less than two years later in 1965, Singapore was expelled from the federation.
