PETALING JAYA (Nov 28): The federal government plans to enact a new law to streamline the management of water in each state next year, said Natural Resources and Environment Minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
“There are some states having surplus rain, causing floods, while there are others that are dry. So, through this new law, we can supply the surplus water to states that need it,” he said in a report by Bernama.
He added that the new law would also allow the federal government to set up a more consistent water management system for each state.
“Currently, the federal government has no right to intervene in state water management systems. However, we will study and discuss with the state governments on this matter,” he said.
