The MCA Monday refuted the allegation of the opposition parties that water tariff in Johor is the highest in the country.
Party president Datuk Seri Dr Chua Soi Lek said a check by the MCA revealed that if the water consumption did not exceed 30 cubic metres per month, the increase was not more than RM2.00.
"For a family of five, I am not sure that we will consume up to RM150 per month as claimed by the opposition," he told reporters after attending a dialogue session with members of the Labis Che Thai Khor Moral Uplifting Society, here.
In this context, he said the MCA could not accept the opposition claim that the water tariff in Johor would cause a hike of up to 100 per cent in the monthly water bill of the people although the average consumption would only be RM30 per month if usage was within 30 cubic metres per month.
Last year, the SAJ Holdings Sdn Bhd (SAJ Holdings), the water supply concessionaire in Johor had adjusted the water tariff for the whole Johor state which would not burden consumers in the state where the average rise in the water bill for the majority of the consumers was only RM1.85 per month.- BERNAMA
