The Selangor government will build two water treatment plants at a cost
of RM800 million from next year while waiting for the completion of the
Langat 2 project, expected to be in 2019.
Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali said the two projects, Semenyih 2 Water
Treatment Plant in Jenderam Hilir and Labohan Dagang Water Treatment
Plant in Kuala Langat, were to mitigate the water supply crisis in the
interest of the people and industries in the state.
"The tender process for the Semenyih plant project will start this
December and the project expected to begin in the first quarter of 2016.
"For the Labohan Dagang water treatment plant, the tender will open in
March next year, the latest, and the project to start in mid-2016," he
told reporters after his working visit to the Syarikat Bekalan Air
Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) headquarters, here, today.
Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary company of
the state government, officially took over the management operations of
Syabas and Puncak Niaga Sdn Bhd on Oct 15, 2015.
Mohamed Azmin said while waiting for the completion of the water
treatment plant projects, the Selangor government was carrying out a
water conservation public awareness campaign programme.
Asked on the proposal by the communications director of Parti Amanah
Negara (Amanah), Khalid Abdul Samad, for the issue involving the
position of the state government be resolved through a cooperation
agreement between Pakatan Harapan and PAS, the menteri besar said:
"That's just his proposal...we will discuss (the matter)."
Mohamed Azmin said he would meet with Amanah Selangor this Thursday to discuss all matters related to the issue.-- BERNAMA
