00:00 The Kedah government wants to sell treated water to Penang to address the long-standing
00:08 shortage faced by the residents of Nibong Tebal, particularly in the Sungai Bakap area,
00:13 says Perikatan Nasional Election Director, Sanusi Noor.
00:17 He added that Kedah has a surplus of treated water at the Lubu Buntar Water Treatment Plant
00:22 and is prepared to sell it to Penang, Sinar Harian reported.
00:26 Sanusi, who is also the Kedah Menteri Besar, said that Penang, which extracts twice as
00:31 much water as Kedah from Sungai Muda, should have enough water.
00:36 He said it was embarrassing that the Penang government, which he claimed makes a huge
00:39 profit from selling water to industrial consumers, cannot resolve the water supply issue in Nibong
00:44 Tebal.
00:46 He said it shouldn't be a problem as the state is small and the pipes are short and
00:49 easy to maintain.
00:52 He pointed out that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim was from the state, adding that it was unacceptable
00:56 that Penang faces basic issues on water supply.
