Selangor BN deputy chairperson Noh Omar took the state government to task today for its action to freeze Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor's (Syabas) capital expenditure (capex).

NONE Noh ( right ) said the state government should try and solve the water problem faced by the people rather than taking an action that was politically inclined.

"The people must evaluate the government's action and its unrealistic decision to freeze Syabas' Capex," he told reporters after attending a Tanjong Karang-level Maulidur Rasul celebrations today.

Noh said the federal government had allocated RM606 million for the water mitigation programme, replacement of pipes and to build additional treatment plants.

The federal government had also provided loans to the Selangor government to carry out water mitigation programmes to resolve the water problems faced by the people of Selangor, he said.

"Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim knows the loan amount. I am not saying how much, but we want him to tell how the money was spent. The menteri besar must answer," he said.

Noh said the federal government had also set up a special committee to overcome the water issue in Selangor and the committee had agreed with the water restructure plan proposed by the state government.
