- Water rationing plan stage one, three and four to be continued
- Difficult to implement affordable housing promise, says Khalid
| Posted: 15 Apr 2014 09:39 AM PDT PETALING JAYA: The Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) had to use water cannons and tear gas to disperse disgruntled fans after Perak was defeated by Johor Darul Takzim 1-0 on Tuesday night at the Perak Stadium in Ipoh. Some fans showed their displeasure towards the home team's management when they protested after the game. The situation spiralled out of control and the FRU had to step in to disperse the crowd. In a separate incident, a photographer was reported to have suffered injuries after some supporters threw stones during the match. Perak, who have never been relegated since Malaysia adopted a two-tier system, currently languish in last place with seven points after thirteen games. |
| Water rationing plan stage one, three and four to be continued Posted: 15 Apr 2014 06:58 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) will continue with the water rationing plan stage one, three and four as decided by the Selangor state government and approved by the National Water Services Commission. Its corporate communications and public affairs assistant general manager Priscilla Alfred said, to date, all the plans were being implemented according to schedule. She said the Cheras Batu 11 Water Treatment Plant was still not operating since it was closed again Monday when the ammonia level continued to be at a level higher than that permitted by the Health Ministry. "Syabas was informed by Puncak Niaga (M) Sdn Bhd, the company operating the water treatment plant that from their observations, the ammonia content in Sungai Langat was still high," she said in a statement here Tuesday. The water rationing plan stage one involved several areas in Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat and Sepang while the third stage involved Gombak, Petaling, Kuala Lumpur, Klang/Shah Alam, Hulu Selangor and Kuala Selangor. Areas in stage four were Gombak, Petaling, Klang/Shah Alam, Kuala Selangor, Kuala Langat, Hulu Selangor, Hulu Langat and Sepang. She said Syabas also urged consumers to be prudent in their water consumption and not commit any offences such as vandalising the distribution pipe system to get water supply. Syabas also encouraged consumers to surf its website (www.syabas.com.my) to obtain information on the list of areas and rationing schedules. – Bernama |
| Difficult to implement affordable housing promise, says Khalid Posted: 15 Apr 2014 06:38 AM PDT SHAH ALAM: Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid has admitted that the state government was facing difficulties in implementing Pakatan Rakyat's election promise with regard affordable housing in the state. Pakatan, in its election manifesto, had promised to allocate RM100mil for the purpose of building affordable homes in Selangor. However, Khalid said that the plan was unfeasible at this juncture. "Although the state government is doing its best to build affordable homes in the state, the demand for it has become far too great," he said, Tuesday at the Selangor State Assembly in response to Haniza Talha (PKR-Taman Medan) who had asked of the progress of the state government's affordable housing plan. Khalid said that to date some 15,000 affordable homes had been built by the Selangor State Development Corporation and Perbadanan Nasional Selangor Berhad, while about 30,000 units were built by Sime Darby. He added that a huge sum was needed to carry out affordable home projects, adding that current state funds did not allow the government to do so. |
