SelangorKu:Penstrukturan Semula Industri Air Dimulakan Kembali

Perbincangan mengenai industri air Selangor akan dimulakan kembali dengan Kerajaan Persekutuan dalam masa terdekat dengan harapan penstrukturan semula perkhidmatan itu dapat diteruskan Kerajaan Selangor.

Ini supaya proses pengambilalihan operasi rawatan dan pengedaran air di Selangor, Kuala Lumpur dan Putrajaya daripada empat syarikat swasta dapat disempurnakan bagi memastikan pengguna mendapat bekalan yang cukup, berterusan dan pada harga berpatutan.

Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim berkata, surat rasmi mengenai perbincangan sudah dihantar Isnin lalu kepada Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak dan Kementerian Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air baru Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili.

Surat tersebut sebagai respons Kerajaan Negeri kepada kenyataan Dr Maximus minggu lepas yang mahu bertemu dan berbincang dengan Selangor tentang perkhidmatan air di Selangor.

TheSun:Water – Back to Square One

ON May 5, an end to the potentially crippling water crisis in the Klang Valley lay with the voters of Selangor.

In the run up to the general election, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak pledged that the federal government would resolve the water woes, marked by frequent supply cuts especially since the beginning of the year, if the voters returned the Barisan Nasional to power in the state ruled by Pakatan Rakyat for the last five years.

Datuk Seri Peter Chin Fah Kui, in an interview before bowing out as energy, green technology and water minister, appealed to the people of Selangor to avoid a water crisis by "voting wisely".

With the election out of the way and Barisan having failed to wrest control of Malaysia's richest state, comes the reality that the water dispute between the Selangor and federal governments is back to square one.

Selangor government is believed to be one step closer in completing the state's water service industry  restructuring plan.

The newly appointed Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim said he will be sending a letter to the Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak regarding the matter.

“Hopefully, there will be a positive outcome from the plan accordingly with Water Service Industry Act 2006.

"We are also committed that the Langat 2 Project will be combined together with the restructuring plan so that it will be not operated seprately,” said Khalid to reporters after his appointment as Menteri Besar for the second term at Istana Alam Shah in Klang.

The idea to restructure the state's water industry was initiated for years.

“The restructuring plan has been completed and I will sent the letter tomorrow because this is a vision of Selangor people,” he said.
