SHAH ALAM, 17 Aug: The state government is willing to study an appropriate mechanism to give water stocks to the people, as proposed by former Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim.
The Chief Minister, Mohamed Azmin Ali (PKR-Bukit Antarabangsa), said that the proposal can be considered with the concession acquisition terms fully resolved.
“If the programme is good and beneficial, we can consider.
