Kedah BN is unperturbed amid threat from Menteri Besar Azizan Abdul Razak that he would reveal an alleged fraud in the water supply contract under the BN's rule, said former state executive councillor Nawawi Ahmad.

Denying the allegation, he said there were no irregularities in the contract when Kedah was under the BN's rule.

"Please lodge a report to the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and stop threatening BN leaders for protesting the water tariff increase as it will burden the people," said the former state public works, energy and transport committee chairperson.

Nawawi, who is also Kedah Umno liaison committee secretary, dismissed the threat as a desperate attempt by Azizan to divert the people's attention following criticisms on the water tariff increase in the state from last Friday.

He said Azizan's threat to disclose the names of the people allegedly responsible for the financial losses suffered by the state government in the water treatment contract was highly irresponsible statement.

"Why go to the press, just report it to the MACC. The people want to see Kedah water supply being upgraded first before increasing the rate as the quality of the water services is poor," he said.

Kedah Gerakan Youth chief Tan Keng Liang described Azizan's threat as another attempt to cover the weaknesses of the PAS-led state government.
