Pahang: The Pahang government is inviting the public to submit views and proposals on the state's future development through a public consultation on the draft review of the Pahang State Structure Plan 2040. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail stated that the public could channel their feedback to the Pahang Town and Country Planning Department (PLANMalaysia Pahang) or district offices for evaluation and consideration over the next month.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Wan Rosdy emphasized the importance of public participation in shaping the state's development. He encouraged citizens to share their perspectives, assuring that every piece of feedback would be examined. He made these remarks after launching the Publicity and Public Participation Programme for the draft review and officiating at the presentation of indicative plans to the Pahang Village Development and Security Committee (JPKK).

Wan Rosdy highlighted that 51 projects had been identified across the state, covering sectors including the Kuantan International Airport, Kuantan Port, and the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL). However, he noted that the list was not fixed and could be expanded to accommodate future needs.

He pointed out that the development plan's flexibility is crucial to addressing emerging requirements. New needs would prompt the submission of applications to the Federal Government, ensuring that the development process continues beyond the initial 51 projects.
