Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has turned down Selangor Menteri Besar Abdul Khalid Ibrahim's invitation to meet and resolve the state's water issue.
"Muhyiddin said ‘no', but Muhyiddin also said it's up to the attorney-general (AG) to advise on the matter," the Selangor executive councillor in charge of local government Ronnie Liu.The DPM added that thus far, the AG was still studying the issue and has not issued any report on the matter, Liu said.

Khalid said he would incorporate the federal government's plan to build the Langat 2 water treatment plant into the state's water restructuring exercise, if the federal government gave the go-ahead for the restructuring Selangor has been seeking .
