TheStar:Kelantan urged to hand over water management to federal govt

The Kelantan People's Action Council (MTRK) On Saturday urged the PAS-led state government to hand over the management of potable water to the federal government, claiming that it had failed to solve the state's water woes over the last 22 years.

Its president, Azmi Ali, said MTRK wanted the state government to do so within a month, failing which the council would hold a large gathering to press for it.

"The people of Kelantan want the PAS-led state government to quickly hand over the management of water to the National Water Services Commission (SPAN).

"PAS must admit that it has failed to implement the management of potable water to the people who have voted for it," he said after leading 3,000 people to press for the handing over, here.

Meanwhile, Malay right-wing group, Perkasa, vice-president Datuk Mustapha Yaakub claimed that the federal government had provided a RM600mil allocation to Kelantan to solve its water woes but the latter had failed to do so. - Bernama
