TASIK KENYIR, October 30, 2026 – The Central Terengganu Development Board (KETENGAH) continues to strengthen its commitment to advancing the tourism sector in Tasik Kenyir through the successful completion of the Project to Build and Complete a Mini Public Park at Gawi Point, Pengkalan Gawi, Tasik Kenyir, involving an allocation of RM2.6 million. The Certificate of Practical Completion (CPC) Handover Ceremony was officiated by YM. Dato’ Tengku Ahmad Nadzri bin Tengku Musa, General Manager of KETENGAH, to Encik Muhammad Aminuddin bin Muda from AHM Resources, witnessed by YBhg. Dato’ Rozi bin Mamat, Chairman of KETENGAH. This ceremony was held in recognition of the project work completion by the contractor, which was successfully finished according to the scheduled date of September 15, 2026.

This development project encompasses several key components, including:

• Upgrading a tourism gallery as an information space and new attraction for visitors;

• Building a Mini Public Park covering landscaping works to create a more attractive and comfortable recreational environment;

• Constructing two (2) landmark units as identity elements and tourist attractions;

• Building a platform or bird acclimatisation tower as a component supporting bird watching activities and appreciating Tasik Kenyir's biodiversity.

The completion of this project is expected to provide significant added value to the development of Kenyir Geopark tourism, particularly through the provision of higher quality recreational facilities, improved safety aspects, visitor comfort, and a variety of tourism products capable of attracting domestic and international tourists.

Besides enhancing visitor experience, this development also has the potential to stimulate local economic activities through increased tourism, thereby opening up more opportunities for tourism operators and local communities to participate in the tourism economic chain in Tasik Kenyir.

The success in completing the project within the stipulated period also reflects KETENGAH's commitment to aspects of project management and implementation efficiency, adherence to quality standards, and planned and effective tourism infrastructure development management.

KETENGAH will remain committed to empowering the development of Kenyir Geopark as a premier ecotourism destination, emphasising the balance between infrastructure development, local community well-being, and the preservation of natural heritage and biodiversity to ensure the continuous sustainability of the tourism industry for future generations.
