COMMENT Khairy Jamaluddin is extremely generous to take the time to respond to our articles and engage in a debate regarding the water industry in Selangor. Let me do my best to humbly extend the same courtesy.

A quick recap. Khairy’s first article basically argued: Selangor is enduring a water crisis primarily because the Selangor government refused to let Syabas increase water tariffs.

My first reply to that article basically argued: only the corrupt would let the rakyat pay good money to a company as astoundingly wasteful as Syabas. Who pours water into leaking buckets?
