SHAH ALAM: Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim has reassured the people in the state that the 20 cubic metres of free water per month given to them will be a permanent arrangement.
He was responding to Puncak Niaga Holdings Bhd executive chairman Tan Sri Rozali Ismail’s statement on Tuesday that the free water arrangement was valid only till December next year.
In addition to refuting Rozali’s statement, Khalid also advised him not to concern himself with matters not relevant to his company and its subsidiary Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas), which distributes water in Selangor.
“Syabas should concentrate on giving the best service in distributing water to customers.
“The issue of reorganisation of the water industry in Selangor is being actively discussed between the federal and state governments and the Rozali’s statement is not relevant from our point of view,’’ added Khalid.
He also said Rozali and Syabas had nothing to do with the free water arrangement.
Khalid said this after chairing the weekly exco meeting, also advised Syabas executives not to assume that they were part of the decision-making machinery in the matter.
