The Selangor government has sent the latest letter to the federal government to start discussions to settle the issue of restructuring the state's water industry which had met a dead end some time ago.
Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui was informed of the matter through a letter dated Sept 14.
"A copy of the letter was also sent to Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
"If Datuk Peter Chin does not respond in 14 days from the date of the letter, I will regard the ministry as not having any objection to my proceeding with the restructuring," he said after chairing a state executive council meeting, here, today.
He said the state government would announce the latest offer to buy all four water concessionaires in the state, the latest by Sept 29 if there was no response to the letter sent.
He said the acquisitions were necessary to implement the restructuring plan of the water supply industry in Selangor.
The four concessionaires are Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas), Puncak Niaga Sdn Bhd (PNSB), Syarikat Pengeluaran Air Sungai Selangor Sdn Bhd (Splash) and Konsortium ABASS.-- BERNAMA
