DESIDERATA: Oh my God, the idiotic water company has deemed its Chairman a SUPERMAN, paying him RM425,000 monthly, translating into RM5.1million a year! NO wonder all the concessionaire's top executives, in cahoots with UMNO, are resisting the take-over of Syabas by the Selangor state government. A REFERENDUM as proposed by the State government (as outlined in yestewrday's post here) would help to end the impasse so that the will and wishes of the residents of Selangor will the primary determinant of this looming crisis if not remdied in time!
Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim in a page 2 report was also quoted as saying said the State government it planned to increase the capacity of water treatment with a new dam under Mitigasi 2 costing RM225million.
Before this, the government haad formed a Syabas Monitoring Committee (Jawatn Kuasa Pemantauan SYABAS) chaired by the State Secretary to assess the efficiency of water services provided by Syabas. This was to snsure that the interets of the consumers in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur were protected and it had been shown Syabas had failed to provide adequate clean water as provided for in its concessionaire agreement, Khalid added.
