Matrix Reservoir to invest RM200mil in Tok Bali phase 2

KUALA LUMPUR: Matrix Reservoir Sdn Bhd will further invest RM200mil over the next three years in the development of the Tok Bali oil and gas supply base and industrial cluster, said chairman Tengku Datuk Mohamad Rizam.

He said the Tok Bali supply base would create 350 jobs and it was expected to have many multiplier effects on the industry as well as other jobs related to oil and gas.

“The Tok Bali Oil and Gas Supply Base, which is the third supply base licensed by Petronas in Malaysia, has completed its phase one development and is in full operational stage now.

“The all-weather 500m wharf that provides berthing for five vessels has been in active utilisation,” he said in a statement yesterday.

The company is currently undertaking work for the phase two development to cater to the needs of the other oil and gas companies and service providers who will be undertaking their operations from the Tok Bali supply base for the development and continued long-term drilling campaign in the northern offshore Peninsular Malaysia area, chief executive officer Haida Shenny Hazri said.

Last week, the company entered into a memorandum of understanding with the East Coast Economic Region Development Council on collaboration in the further development of the Tok Bali oil and gas supply base and industrial cluster.

Jalan Pintasan Pasir Puteh - Tok Bali rancakkan pembangunan Tok Bali

PASIR PUTEH:  Jalan Persekutuan baharu yang menghubungkan Pasir Puteh-Gong Kulim-Tok Bali di sini, yang mula dibuka kepada semua kenderaan bulan lepas, akan merancakkan pembangunan Bandar Perikanan Tok Bali.

Pengerusi Majlis Pembangunan Pertanian Parlimen Pasir Puteh, Zawawi Othman berkata, jalan sepanjang 10 kilometer itu hanya mengambil masa selama 15 minit dari bandar Pasir Puteh ke Tok Bali berbanding jalan lama Pasir Puteh-Tebing Tinggi-Tok Bali sejauh 13 kilometer yang mengambil masa 40 minit.

"Jalan baharu yang bernilai lebih RM100 juta itu lebih selesa dan kukuh berbanding jalan lama yang mudah rosak jika dilalui kenderaan berat dan mempunyai banyak selekoh berbahaya," katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui di sini, hari ini.

Zawawi yang juga Adun Semerak berkata, jalan berkenaan yang dibuka seminggu sebelum Aidilfitri juga dapat mengurangkan masalah kesesakan lalu lintas.

Beliau berkata keadaan itu dijangka akan dapat menarik minat pelabur khususnya dalam industri perikanan ke Bandar Perikanan Tok Bali.

Sementara itu, Pengerusi Persatuan Nelayan Semerak, Datuk Jelani Jaafar ketika dihubungi berkata, jalan berkenaan sudah lama ditunggu-tunggu oleh semua pihak termasuk nelayan Semerak sendiri.

Beliau berkata, ini kerana ia akan memberi kemudahan kepada pengguna untuk mendapatkan ikan segar dan murah secara terus di pelabuhan Lembaga Kemajuan Ikan Malaysia (LKIM) atau daripada nelayan tradisional di Tok Bali tanpa perlu melalui orang tengah.

"Kita berharap pemborong dan peruncit yang menjaja ikan secara kecil-kecilan dengan motosikal ke kampung-kampung dapat menurunkan harga ikan tanpa alasan kerana kos pengangkutan lebih rendah berbanding sebelum ini," katanya.
