Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad says since this is a matter between the states, the federal government is ready to act as a facilitator in the talks.
Perak previously turned down Penang’s plans to draw raw water from Sungai Perak, saying it has to cater to demand in the state.
Nik Nazmi told the Dewan Rakyat today the onus is on both state governments to hold talks on the proposal since the issue falls under their jurisdictions.“I have received indications from both state governments that this discussion can commence on a good note, and this was expressed in a recent National Water Council meeting chaired by the prime minister ,” he said.
Nik Nazmi was responding to a supplementary question by Lim Guan Eng on whether Putrajaya would help in expediting the water scheme so that both states can benefit from guaranteed water supply. In March, Zairil told FMT that Penang will launch another bid to tap Perak’s water resources to meet increasing demand after a study by Putrajaya said it was feasible to do so.
