Bernama:Audit On SYABAS Accounts, Operations Starts This Week, Says Selangor Menteri Besar

SHAH ALAM, Nov 2 (Bernama) -- Two accounting firms appointed by the Selangor government will carry out auditing of the accounts and operations of Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (SYABAS) within this week.

Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said once completed, the audit findings would be announced to explain allegation that the state government-owned water treatment plants managed by Syabas were not producing sufficient treated water supply.

"This (allegation) is a technical issue. We will make an explanation after the audit and I will personally announce the audit findings," he told reporters after chairing the state executive council weekly meeting here Wednesday.

Prior to this, Abdul Khalid was reported as saying that the state government had appointed Messrs Atkins and Halcrow to carry out auditing of the accounts and operations of SYABAS to avert water shortage in the state without being dependent on Langat 2 Water Treatment Plant (Langat 2) project.-- BERNAMA
