The RM2.3 million pump house in Kampung Pinang Batang Tiga, Klebang, is now operational, improving irrigation for 80.9 hectares of padi fields. This project, a collaboration between the Melaka State Government and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, aims to resolve long-standing water shortages faced by local farmers.

A subsequent RM43 million irrigation project is planned for completion in three to four years. The new facility is expected to increase padi yields from 1.5-2 tonnes to over 2.5 tonnes, enhancing local rice supply and farmer incomes.
