Restructuring of the Water Industry in Selangor

The Selangor State Government cordially invites you to a Briefing on “Restructuring of the Water Industry in Selangor”

The objective of the event is to allow the Selangor State Government to provide a briefing and explanation on its position in regards to the restructuring of the water services industry in Selangor, which has taken more than two years and has not yet been resolved.

The water services industry in Selangor used to belong to the state government, but over the years was corporatised and eventually privatised to four water concession companies. The Water Services Industry Act 2006, together with several other national policies, set out to reverse the wrongs of the privatisation. This briefing is meant to clarify the Selangor State Government’s position on the matter and allow an avenue for discussion, questions and dialogue with those present. We look forward to meeting with you.
Selangor is embarking on a campaign to return the rights of water to the people of Selangor. Please visit www.airuntukrakyat.net for more information.
