JERANTUT: The Jerantut Square integrated development project is on track for completion next year, promising major economic benefits for Pahang, particularly Jerantut.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail confirmed the RM130 million initiative will generate approximately 1,000 direct and 5,000 indirect job opportunities.
Wan Rosdy highlighted the project’s commercial components, including office spaces and convenience stores, during the Pahang State Development Corporation’s (PKNP) 60th anniversary celebration at the Pahang Rest House @ Jerantut.
