DAP's Damansara Utama state assemblyperson Yeo Bee Yin has urged Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin to be part of the solution after a back and forth argument on the Selangor water crisis.
"If Khairy is really sincere about solving Selangor water problems instead of getting into endless rebuttals to lay blame on Selangor government, I have four practical suggestions for him as a cabinet member," she said in a statement today.
Firstly, Yeo (right) said Khairy should convince his colleague in the cabinet, Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi to approve Selangor's application to use Thailand's Royal Rainmaker Technology for cloud seeding as it uses ejectable flare.
"Secondly, in order for the public to have fair assessment on the water issues without the politicians interpreting them biasedly, I suggest Khairy to push for the declassification of water concession agreements, which are still hidden under Official Secrets Act," she said.
Yeo said the information is necessary to justify if it was logical for the state government to block a water tariff hike of 37 percent in 2009, 25 percent in 2012 and 15 percent in 2015 by Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) for not sufficiently reducing non-revenue water (NRW).
Khairy, in his rebuttal to Yeo's defence of Selangor's handling of the water issue on Tuesday, had blamed the state's blocking of the water tariff hike for the Syabas failure to sufficiently reduce NRW as it was deprived of funds.
'Let the public decide'
Furthermore, Yeo asked Khairy, who is also BN Youth chief, to push the cabinet to declassify the national audit report on Syabas.
