THE Penang state government hopes the federal government will quickly complete the Mengkuang Dam Expansion Project (MDEP) to ensure the success of the state’s strategic drought reserve dam.
Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the MDEP started in 2011 through a direct federal government allocation worth RM1.2 billion involving four phases, namely Phase 1, Phase 2A, Phase 2B and Phase 2C.
