Anwar Ibrahim menasihati Menteri Besar Selangor Azmin Ali supaya tidak menerima seadanya perjanjian air kontroversi negeri itu, sekiranya benar ia hanya menguntungkan sesetengah pihak sahaja.
Anwar yang juga MP Permatang Pauh berkata Azmin secara konsisten mahu memastikan perjanjian itu lebih telus."Saya pasti akan menasihatkan beliau (Azmin) untuk meneliti sekiranya perjanjian itu berat sebelah, maka tidak boleh meneruskan (untuk menerimanya) tanpa persoalan.
"Siapa yang mendapat untung? Saya tidak peduli sekiranya mereka berpangkat lebih tinggi tapi jika ia menyebabkan rakyat membayar lebih, saya fikir kita harus meneliti semula (perjanjian).
"Saya memandang berat isu ini dan saya tahu ini salah satu sebab beberapa orang yang berpangkat tinggi bermasalah dengan saya.
"Ia bukan peribadi tetapi jika anda 'bermain' dengan (terma) perjanjian, anda mengaut keuntungan dan anda hukum rakyat untuk membayarnya," kata beliau dalam wawancara dengan Malaysiakini.
Semalam The Star melaporkan Azmin sebagai berkata beliau tidak akan menarik perjanjian antara kerajaan negeri dan pusat itu untuk memastikan bekalan air yang efisien dan berkualiti di negeri itu.- mk
Re-look water deal if it benefits select few...
Anwar, who is also the Permatang Pauh MP, said Azmin has consistently insisted on making the deal more transparent.
“I would certainly advise him to look (and) if the agreement is flawed, then he should not continue (to accept it) without question.
“Who are the beneficiaries? I do not care who are the higher-ups but if you take it out on the people and as a result, the people have to pay more, then I think we have to re-look it.
“I take a very strong view of that and I know that this is one of the reasons some people very high up have an issue against me.
"It
is not personal but, you know, the water deal, you play around with it,
you amass this amount of profit and you have to punish the people to
pay,” he said in an exclusive interview with Malaysiakini.Azmin was reported in The Star yesterday saying he would not revoke the agreement between the federal and state governments to ensure an efficient and quality water supply in the state.
“I am not going to revoke it. I want the exercise to be completed as soon as possible so the people can have enough water in the future,” the one-month-old MB was quoted as saying. - mk
