When there is a will, there will be a way!

Peter Chin does not deserve to be the Minister of Energy, Green Technology and Water Ministry. He has failed to exercise his powers in resolving the issues surrounding the water control and distribution in Selangor. Instead he had the DPM to trespassed into his area of responsibility via a committee whose members are impartial as they are mainly from UMNO Selangor. The committee has now decreed that they are not able to shift the management of water from TSR to the Selangor Government because there is a legal suit between Syabas and the SSG.

It is undeniable that there is a legal suit. It appears that the court has no urgency in hearing this case. The case is not about control but about compensation as a result of failure of SSG to allow water rates to go up. What is the big deal about this legal suit that it makes to committee lifeless? What it takes is nothing more that setting a date of transfer and once the court decide than the court will decide on who will pay and how much to pay. Is that so difficult? Instead the Cabinet committee is coming up with unnecessary excuses. Despite the suit, it did not stop FG to give a soft loan to Syabas. It did not stop PAAB from taking over all the Syabas water bonds from the bondholders.

The FG is good at finding excuses of not moving forward. That is their expertise. The way I see it is that they don’t want to move forward. Perhaps the reasons are financial i.e. UMNO financials and off late about losing face. They have been defending this issue for so long and they have been drawn it deeply. Agreeing to transfer the water operations to SSG means that they are allowing SSG to gloat and that means a big defeat to Selangor BN. That’s the way the politician thinks. They don’t want to think about doing the right thing. It is a sad for Malaysia. An Olympic gold medal would help to divert the attention from politics!
