Selangor Barisan Nasional Coordinator Datuk Seri Mohd Zin Mohamed said Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim's failure to give full cooperation to the Federal Government to resolve the problem of insufficient water reserves in Selangor resulted in water rationing reported to have started in several parts of the Klang Valley.
He said the PKR-led Selangor government should give its approval for the construction of the Langat 2 water treatment plant as the water rationing exercise was just a short-term solution to overcome the water supply shortage.
"In this case, Syabas has no choice but to undertake water rationing to overcome water supply interruptions due to the low reserve capacity in Selangor.
"So, he (Abdul Khalid) should not deviate from the core issue and deceive the people of Selangor by saying that there is still sufficient water supply," he told reporters after officiating the new building of the community-based rehabilitation centre (PDK) at Bukit Changgang, near here Monday.
Mohd Zin said water shortages would occur unless the state government increased the treated water reserve to the industry's standard of 20 per cent, or a more comfortable buffer of 10 per cent.-- BERNAMA
