Trg Inc seeks Strategic Partner To Redevelop Tasik Kenyir Theme Park
KUALA TERENGGANU, Nov 3 (Bernama) -- Terengganu Incorporated Sdn Bhd (Trg Inc) is seeking a strategic partner to redevelop the water theme park on Pulau Poh, Tasik Kenyir, in Hulu Terengganu.
Group president and chief executive officer Datuk Burhanuddin Hilmi Mohamed @ Harun said the theme park development is expected to be carried out on a larger scale to attract more tourists, thereby further diversifying tourism activities at Tasik Kenyir.
He said developing these tourism facilities is essential to extend tourists’ stays in Terengganu, particularly by providing a wider range of recreational and entertainment activities for visitors from diverse backgrounds.
He expressed hope that Tasik Kenyir (water theme park) can be revived, perhaps within the six-month period, as it could serve as a tourist attraction.
“However, it must be on a larger scale. It might require an expenditure of around RM3 million to redevelop this theme park.
“Several parties have expressed interest and are currently conducting assessments, and awaiting further developments,” he said following the ESG Affairs 2026 programme here today.
Kenyir Water Park, built at a cost of RM7.5 million and opened on May 31, 2015, had to close in 2017 due to several issues, including maintenance problems.
Meanwhile, Burhanuddin Hilmi said 200 participants attended ESG Affairs 2026, an event aimed at clarifying economic priorities, building a shared understanding of Terengganu’s strengths, structural constraints, and opportunities for economic diversification, and strengthening competitive industries.
He said the programme’s target groups include government and development agencies, business leaders, industry practitioners, investors, financial institutions, sustainability and governance professionals, small and medium enterprises and entrepreneurs, educational and talent development institutions, and community and social investment organisations.
He said ESG Affairs 2026 is structured around four interconnected forums, each focusing on a distinct component of the state’s economic ecosystem.
“More than just a forum for discussing environmental sustainability, ESG Affairs 2026 serves as an economic leadership platform that bridges four key pillars -- the state’s economic standing, industrial competitiveness, social development, and investment readiness.
“It is hoped that participants will gain a clearer understanding of the state’s economic priorities, practical ideas for implementing business and social investment initiatives, and the potential for collaboration between the government, industry, and the community," he said.
