As I wrote this, the API index in some parts of Selangor has reached an unhealthy level of 132, whereas in Nilai the API index also stands at an unhealthy level of 109. We witnessed rain of hope since Sunday, where it poured down at a few places around the nation. However, it is still not enough to bring down the API and the signs of haze are still clearly visible.

The year began with much drama involving the Selangor water scene with statements that Putrajaya will invoke Section 114 of WSIA 2006 act to temporarily take over Selangor’s water assets, management and concessions, in response to the failure to restructure the water supply services in the state of Selangor.
