SHAH ALAM, 23 Mar: The first day of the meeting to renegotiate Selangor’s water today took place smoothly, paving way to solutions of issues raised.

The Chief Minister, Mohamed Azmin Ali, who informed about the development, hopes that the condition precedent under the master agreement of the water restructuring can be finalised in follow-up consultations with Minister Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Johnity Ongkili.

“We hope to solve all issues raised in the near future,” said Mohamed Azmin when met by the media after the World Water Day 2015 celebration at Plaza Alam Central Shah Alam today.

With this meeting, Mohamed Azmin explained that the land confiscation issue by Putrajaya no longer arose.

“It was no longer raised because they (Putrajaya) have re-examined the original terms. If they want to revert to the original terms of this agreement, then this matter (state government’s objection) will not arise,” he said.

The state government’s negotiation team at the meeting was represented by the State Government Secretary, Khusrin Munawi.
