| GE13: More than 200 ex-PKR members pledge support for BN in Kota Raja Posted: 28 Apr 2013 09:35 AM PDT SHAH ALAM: More than 200 former Pakatan Rakyat members pledged their support for Barisan Nasional at an event organised at the Kota Raja parliamentary constituency. Their representatives symbolically received a Barisan T-shirt each from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at the event dubbed Showcase 1Malaysia With The PM. Several hundred people gathered at the Desa Latnia at Section 36 here Sunday night to meet and greet Najib. The event was attended by Barisan Nasional candidates for the Kota Raja parliamentary seat as well as the Sri Andalas and Sri Muda state constituencies. In spite of the soggy field, due to an earlier downpour, the crowd gathered there to enjoy a stage show featuring local artistes such as Nash and Effa Raziah while waiting for Najib who had stopped at Pandamaran earlier. In his speech, Najib, who arrived at about 11.00pm, told the crowd that Barisan had to regain control of Selangor because it was a developed and prosperous state. "The state was developed by Barisan Nasional," said Najib adding that the Pakatan Rakyat state had not done anything to develop the state further. He added that the state's water woes would be sorted out if Barisan took over the state as the current obstacles would be sorted out with negotiations between the state and Federal governments. Najib also said that he could see the support for Barisan as he visited the constituencies in Selangor. "Now wherever I go people smile more at me and some shake my hands and don't want to let go. "Why? Because people are ready for change," said Najib. He told the people that he needed a strong mandate to continue being the nation's prime minister.

| Water supply disruption for 12,000 households in Gombak Posted: 28 Apr 2013 08:25 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 12,000 consumer accounts in the Gombak region experienced unscheduled water supply disruption following a failure at the Wangsa Maju pump house system when one of the four pumps broke down on Saturday. Assistant general manager of Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) Priscilla Alfred said in a statement Sunday that usually the four pumps would operate to supply water to the consumers following the high demand in the Kuala Lumpur and Gombak regions. Among the areas that faced supply disruptions were AU1, AU2, AU3, AU4, AU5, Taman Sri Keramat, Keramat, Desa Setapak, Wangsa Melawati, Taman Sri Rampai, Taman Permata, Tasik Tambahan, Taman Ampang Campuran and Ampang Tasik Permai. Syabas expected the water supply to all the affected areas to be resumed in stages until Monday night depending on the capability of the system at the Wangsa Maju Pump House. Customers requiring assistance can call the Customer Service Centre (PUSPEL) at the toll-free line 1-800-88-5252. Up to noon Sunday, Syabas received 412 complaints about the lack of water and 67 complaints on low water pressure in the Gombak region. - Bernama Related Stories: |
