100% safe to drink tap water, says minister
KUALA LUMPUR (Oct 17): It is “100% safe” to drink water directly from the tap said Water, Land and Natural Resources Minister Xavier Jayakumar today.
Free Malaysia Today quotes him as saying, during question-and-answer session at the Dewan Rakyat today: “The water from our taps is safe to be drunk, no problem.
“If there are problems, it is a local problem and not because of water treatment plants.
“The water from water plants nationwide is 100% safe to be drunk directly.”
The news portal reports that Ismail Mohamed Said (BN-Kuala Krau) asked if the minister himself drank water directly from the tap.
“Yes, I drink straight from the tap,” was Jayakumar’s reply.
