Over the next 45 years, approximately RM100 billion will be spent to refurbish, maintain and expand the water supply infrastructure. Is this money going to be well spent or is it literally money down the drain?

The growth is evident as the Ninth Malaysia Plan clearly indicates phenomenal jumps in the allocation for investment in the water sector. In the 9MP, the Barisan Nasional government is allocating RM16.5 billion to the water sector, a 113 percent jump from the 8MP.
