Gomen lebih utamakan menjaga gaji,RM400,000 sebulan,CEO Syabas daripada selesaikan masalah air rakyat Selangor...

Kerajaan Pusat boleh mengeluarkan tender projek Loji Rawatan Air Langat 2 tetapi kelulusan mengenai pelaksaannya hanya boleh diberikan oleh Kerajaan Selangor.

 Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim berkata, Kerajaan Negeri juga tidak akan terlibat dengan proses tender tersebut kerana beranggapan ia tidak relevan dengan masalah air yang didakwa wujud di Selangor.

Setakat ini, menurutnya, Kerajaan Negeri hanya bersetuju dan ingin berbincang dengan Kerajaan Pusat mengenai proses penstrukturan semula air di negeri itu.

Katanya, pihak tenaga kerja profesional dilantik bagi membuat kajian dan menyiapkan laporan mengenai isu air tersebut dan dakwaan Menteri Kementerian Tenaga, Teknologi Hijau dan Air (KeTTHA), Datuk Seri Peter Chin Kah Fui yang mengatakan laporan Kerajaan Negeri tidak betul tidak boleh diterima.

“Jika laporan itu tidak betul, mari kita jumpa dan berbincang. Mengapa gunakan media untuk bertanya? Ia bukan laporan yang saya buat tetapi laporan disiapkan oleh pihak professional yang dilantik Kerajaan Negeri bagi mengenal pasti berkaitan isu masalah air ini.

“Jika anda fikir ia tidak betul, bukan Peter Chin yang patut buat kenyataan tetapi itu tanggungjawab Pengerusi Eksekutif Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor(Syabas). Ini kerana beliau dibayar melebihi harga pihak profesional. Peter Chin patut menilai perkara ini kerana pembayaran diluluskan lebih RM400,000 sebulan untuknya. Mengapa beliau tidak berbincang dengan kita (Kerajaan Negeri)? soalnya.

Abdul Khalid berkata demikian dalam sidang media selepas majlis penyampaian surat kelulusan pemberimilikan tanah kerajaan dan notis 5A di Kampung Sungai Sireh Tambahan di sini hari ini.

Menteri Besar selanjutnya berkata, Peter Chin tidak memikirkan tentang perihal rakyat Selangor dan mempersoalkan apa dilakukan menteri itu terhadap rakyat Sarawak.

Beliau berkata, Peter Chin seharusnya memberikan teguran terhadap Pengerusi Eksekutif Syabas berhubung perkara itu.

“Kita akan ingatkan dia kerana perkara ini sangat penting kepada kita. Jika anda fikirkan tentang rakyat maka rakyat akan fikir tentang diri kita tetapi jika anda fikir RM400,000 (gaji bulanan Pengerusi Eksekutif Syabas) adalah lebih penting maka tidak akan memikirkan tentang anda,” katanya lagi.

Dalam laporan media semalam, Kerajaan Pusat akan melaksanakan projek Loji Rawatan Air Langat 2 secara tender terbuka kepada semua syarikat yang berkelayakan.-selangorku

Selangor Water Issue...

From what I understand (will be improved time to time as understanding increases):

Selangor government says:
 
1.there’s enough raw water as the dams are full (and its raining nearly everyday for last 2 weeks or so)

2.SYABAS is not able to deliver water properly due to loss of water (non-revenue)
 

3.will take over SYABAS management to improve its services
 

4.treated water is enough but SYABAS incompetent to deliver the water5.Langat2 WTP is waste of money and that better water management is the way to go

5.it has not gazetted the increased water tariff as per concession agreement with SYABAS (which means no price hike)

6.says SYABAS has no authority to ration water as that comes under state.

SYABAS says:

1.there’s enough raw water but not enough TREATED water. 

2.Treated water means already processed by Water Treatment Plants (WTP) to ensure the water is safe for consumption. 

3.The raw water from sources (dams) is channelled to WTP and then channelled to homes/industries.
 

4.its not in charge of water treatment as that falls under state government duties (providing sufficient infrastructure to process raw water fit for consumption). Its job is to channel the treated water to homes/industries. It just pays money to WTP for the treated water.

5.its has informed state government since 2010 about possible shortage of treated water but

6.that state government had not allowed the construction of Langat2 WTP

7.the state government had barred SYABAS from making capital expenditure which resulted in SYABAS unable to undertake work to reduce non-revenue water

8.has applied to SPAN (National Water Commission) to ration water

Notes:

1.state government has 30% stakehold in SYABAS.
 

2.daily water needs in Klang Valley (plus Putrajaya) is about 4,364 million litres per day (MLD) and the treatment plants’ capacity is 4,371 (MLD)
 

3.Langat2 expected to supply 1,8900 MLD if constructed and can supply until 2025 before shortage happens again
 

4.So, what’s the conclusion? Even if allow for new WTP (Langat2) to be built, it will take at least 4 years.-poobalan.com

Khalid tells DPM,Let's meet to resolve water stalemate...

 Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim today said he was prepared to meet with Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin to resolve the stalemate on the water issue in the state.

This, he said, includes accepting the proposed RM8.65 billion Langat 2 water treatment facility on condition that the federal government give its nod for the state’s long-stalled water restructuring exercise.

“If you agree to the restructuring, we incorporate Langat 2 into the restructuring. Then let’s also get a team to work out the reduction of non-revenue water and look for other sources of water,” he told Malaysiakini in an interview today.


Khalid explained that the restructuring was essential to stave off a 75 percent hike in water tariff which is compulsory under the existing agreement with Syabas but is currently being blocked by the state government.
 
Syabas had since taken the case to court, demanding compensation from the state government for preventing the hike which amounts to a staggering RM1.2 billion up to 2010.

“I met Muhyiddin on Friday and he told me he is willing to sit down and talk to me with reference that the people’s interests will be taken care of. I said okay, let’s go ahead. I am waiting for that,” said Khalid.
 
Khalid said his office will send a letter to Muhyiddin, who chairs the special cabinet committee overseeing the Selangor issue, by Tuesday for a meeting.

‘No land for Langat 2 until restructuring done’

On Monday, Muhyiddin had announced that an open tender for the Langat 2 water treatment plant will be called with or without the state government’s consent.

Asked If the Selangor will approve the land for the project, Khalid replied: “Not yet, not until they resolve (the water restructuring first).

“They can do a tender, they can do publicity, we shouldn’t stop them from doing that. But those they can do, they do, those I can do, I do,” he said.

Khalid added that a resolution through the special cabinet committee would be preferable but if all options are exhausted Selangor will take the federal government to court for a judicial review over its decision to block the restructuring exercise.

The water restructuring exercise which is required under the Water Services Act 2006 has already been carried out in Perak, Malacca, Negri Sembilan, Johor and Perlis, but for some reason, Khalid said, was being blocked by the federal government in Selangor.

The exercise will essentially see all water services in the state taken over from the private sector and consolidated under a special purpose vehicle. The infrastructure will subsequently be handed over to the federal government but will be managed by the state government.

When consolidated under a single entity under the state government, Khalid said this would improve efficiency and also solve other water concerns in the state.- malaysiakini

Air percuma bukti S'gor urus air dengan baik

Program pemberian air percuma yang membolehkan rakyat menikmati 20 meter padu pertama secara percuma setiap bulan adalah bukti keupayaan pengurusan Kerajaan Negeri dan kesungguhan untuk memastikan industri air di Malaysia diuruskan dengan menjadikan kebajikan rakyat menjadi keutamaan, kata Menteri Besar,  Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim. 

"Secara purata, keluarga yang mendiami rumah bertanah di Selangor menikmati penjimatan RM1,200 setahun sejak program ini diperkenalkan pada Jun 2008.

"Manakala keluarga yang tinggal di rumah bertingkat  pula menikmati penjimatan secara purata  hampir RM900 setahun dalam tempoh itu," katanya dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.

Kerajaan negeri, tambahnya, telah membekukan cadangan untuk menaikkan tarif air oleh Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (SYABAS) sebanyak dua kali iaitu untuk 2009 dan 2012.

"Kerajaan Selangor telah membelanjakan RM550 juta setakat ini untuk Program Pemberian Air Percuma. Namun begitu, kerajaan negeri masih berupaya meningkatkan rezab negeri kepada RM2.1 billion pada 2012 berbanding hanya RM400 juta pada 2008," kata menteri besar.

Ini, tegas Abdul Khalid, adalah hasil dasar kewangan mesra rakyat yang mematuhi prinsip-prinsip integriti dan tadbir urus yang baik.

"Kerajaan Pakatan Rakyat Negeri Selangor membuat banyak usaha untuk memastikan rakyat berhak untuk berkongsi keuntungan, aset dan sumber negeri," tambahnya.- malaysiakini
