Twin oil platform sculpture made of 7,000 CDs draws crowd at HLN 2025
JOHOR BAHRU: A striking sculpture by the Pengerang Municipal Council, featuring a twin oil platform structure made from 7,000 compact discs and standing 5.5 metres tall, has become a key attraction at the 2025 National Landscape Day (HLN) celebration here. Landscape architect Nur Asilah Abu Hassan, 33, said the piece, titled Letusan Alam was completed in about three weeks. It draws inspiration from oil rig platforms, swirling water, and fish scales—elements symbolising dynamic energy in the quest for natural resources beneath the earth. 'This sculpture reflects the harmony between industrial strength and natural beauty, while capturing the spirit and identity of the coastal Pengerang community,' she told Bernama. The Pengerang Municipal Council is a newly formed local authority tasked with managing the fast-growing Pengerang region, which is home to the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC)—a mega oil and gas hub. PIPC includes oil refineries, a naphtha plant, petrochemical facilities, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal, and a regasification plant. It represents a significant investment in Malaysia's downstream oil and gas industry. The HLN 2025 celebration, taking place from June 25 to 30 at Taman Bukit Layang-Layang, is organised by the National Landscape Department in collaboration with the Pasir Gudang City Council. This year's theme is The Landscape Industry: A Key Driver of MADANI Development.

Azalina Seeks District Recognition For Fast-growing Pengerang
KOTA TINGGI, June 14 (Bernama) -- Pengerang Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said has urged the Johor state government to consider granting district status to her constituency, citing its rapid economic growth and strategic importance. She said the recognition would enable the area to receive better access to public facilities and government services, in line with its development as a key economic hub — particularly in the oil and gas sector. Currently part of the Kota Tinggi district, Pengerang falls under the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) and has attracted multi-billion ringgit investments. These include the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) by Petronas and the Desaru Coast integrated resort managed by a subsidiary of Khazanah Nasional Bhd.

'We are fortunate to have these developments. Now, we await the possibility that His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim may consider elevating Pengerang to district status. 'If that happens, I believe it will pave the way for more infrastructure projects such as new government offices, a hospital, district police headquarters and other essential facilities,' she said. Azalina, who is also Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform), said this during the Felda Fit 2.0 and Bakti MADANI Pengerang event at Felda Air Tawar 1 today. Johor currently comprises 10 districts: Johor Bahru, Pontian, Kluang, Batu Pahat, Kota Tinggi, Mersing, Kulai, Segamat, Muar and Tangkak. The PIPC, also known as the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) project, includes an oil refinery, petrochemical facilities, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and a regasification plant.
