From a technical\nperspective, we consider it feasible to propose further for discussion\nin the rakortas,\u201d Hanif said.<\/p>\n<p>The results of the rakortas, which will be chaired by Coordinating\nMinister for Food Affairs Zulkifli Hasan, will be followed up with field\ninspections by an integrated government team.<\/p>\n<p>Once that process is complete, the team will conduct an in-depth\nstudy to agree on whether the site meets the specified specifications\nand characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>If it complies, the Environment Minister will issue a decree on the\nconstruction of the PSEL for Greater Malang located in Pakis\nsub-district.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on that letter, the Coordinating Minister for Food will\nrequest Danantara to proceed with the procurement of goods and services\nor tendering,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The supply of raw materials for the Greater Malang PSEL will rely on\nwaste distribution from Malang Regency, Malang City, and Batu City.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Malang Regent M Sanusi said Pakis sub-district is a\nstrategic location because it is close to Malang City and Batu City,\nfacilitating waste distribution to the PSEL.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the area has the Pakis Toll Road, which further\nenhances accessibility to the waste processing facility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Realisation) awaits the tender. There are many factors to consider,\nsuch as sufficient water supply and the environment,\u201d Sanusi said.<\/p>\n<p>Sanusi hopes the PSEL project in Pakis can be realised, providing\npositive impacts on development and economic growth in Malang\nRegency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMalang Regency will become an energy hub because we already have\n(the) Karangkates and Selorejo (Dams), and with this (PSEL), large-scale\nindustries will increasingly enter,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
