Teluk Tekek-Pulau Tioman Rehabilitation Project
The focus of this project is the environment rehabilitation and conservation at Teluk Tekek and Pulau Tioman. Erosion is a major problem at both sites, with river quality compromised, causing serious repercussions to local activities and livelihoods.
Our efforts are concentrated on helping affected local communities. Activities that were carried out include the rebuilding of damaged fishermen’s houses along the beach and boat repairs. We also rehabilitated the badly polluted river by adding breakwaters and rubbish traps to prevent pollution and waste from flowing into the South China Sea. We also clean and rehabilitated the beach front at Teluk Tekek and created passageway for small boats etc. |

Teluk Chempedak Rehabilitation Project
This environment rehabilitation mission began in year 2004 and it was the first of its kind in Malaysia and the Asian region. MRCB was to restore and preserve the physical and natural environment of this coastal beach in Pahang, using an innovative system called Pressure Equalisation Module (PEM). Our efforts have gone a long way towards maintaining the state’s reputation as a favoured tourism hotspot for local and foreign travelers. The project was completed in 2005. |

Kuala Sungai Pahang Estuary Conservation Project
We conducted dredging works at the river’s mouth to eliminate the formation of sand banks. This ensures a safe and smooth passage for fishing boats, especially during the monsoon season. We also participated in the cleaning-up and rehabilitation of the river by installing breakwaters and rubbish traps to control the river’s flow and reduce water pollution. The project was completed in 2011. |

Social Business Workshop at Kuala Pahang
This endeavour was aimed at helping the local community find alternative sources of income and ultimately, eradicate poverty. We organised business motivation and communication workshops to help participants identify a potential business activity. Next, we connect them with the relevant governmental agencies for assistance, including funding, development and marketing. To achieve these, MRCB works in tandem with the Ministry of Agriculture and the Fisheries Department, among others. |
