Media statement by DAP ADUN for Kampung Tunku Lau Weng San on 21st December 2016 in Petaling Jaya:
I was taken aback by the statement from MCA Youth Chief Datuk Chong Sin Woon published by The Star on 19th December 2016, in which he attacked the state government of Selangor for playing the “deaf and blind” game in turning away the advices from the public to defer the proposed water.
Ironically, the same media on the same page has published another statement from his counterpart from Gerakan, ie the newly appointed National Water Services Commission (SPAN) Chairman Datuk Liang Teck Meng, also MP for Simpang Renggam, who said that the timing of the shutdown was agreed by all parties and the decision should not be politicized.
Also appearing in the same article are TNB chief corporate officer Datuk Roslan Ab Rahman and TNB vice-president (distribution) Datuk Baharin Din, whom I believe had given a very detailed press conference about the proposed shutdown of their substation in Bukit Badong, which is the only cause for the shutdown in Air Selangor’s water treatment plants in along Sungai Selangor.
