Phased Development
Although the ideal development as envisaged by the late Tun Razak has yet to be fully materialized, Bandar Muadzam Shah has since quietly grown into quite a well-developed town. It has very good infrastructure and spread of educational and government public services in place, that are not found in some other towns in the Rompin district.
The town has a General Hospital that provides general and also specialist care services, besides having wards for general, women and maternity cases.
Other than the District office and Land office, we can also find here several important government administrative offices and services like the Road Transport Department, Islamic Department, the Police and Fire Departments, and the Courts of Justice.
Already established are various primary and secondary schools, such as Sekolah Menengah Teknik, Maktab Rendah Sains Mara (MRSM), Sekolah Kebangsaan and Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Muadzam Jaya and SMK (A) Pahang.
University Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN) one of Malaysia's top universities with its main campus in Putrajaya, has a branch campus, the UNITEN Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Campus, at Bandar Muadzam Shah.
A big polytechnic complex (Politeknik Muadzam Shah)and it was started ready.currently its already 3 semester student are endrolled there.
Around the town center we can see that there is a big mosque, and scattered rows of retail shops and private offices, and the popular Muadzam Bazaar that connects via a walkway to the bus and taxi terminal.
This bus and taxi terminal serves as a transport hub for rural residents having errands with the government departments or appointments at the general hospital, as the town is surrounded by many rural villages and smaller towns like Bukit Ibam and Keratong.
The residential estates surround the town and they are comparatively well-planned, near to shops, restaurants and public amenities.
According to statistic on 2007, Bandar Muadzam Shah has a total population around 15,000 people.
A satellite town is under construction after launching by Menteri Besar of Pahang, Dato' Seri Adnan Yaakob in 6 March to support demand from the expanding population at Muadzam Shah

Famous quotes containing the words phased and/or development:
“It will be a pity if women in the more conventional mould are to be phased out, for there will never be anyone to go home to.”
—Anita Brookner (b. 1938)
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
