Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) has been urged to solve the water supply crisis in the Klang Valley immediately.
Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Ahmad Maslan hoped the crisis can be settled before the Chinese New Year celebrations since he had promised the people of Sri Melaka Flats in Cheras and areas in the Klang Valley that the government would ensure the problem is resolved quickly.
"I will contact Syabas today and tell them the distribution of water using tankers to the affected residents, since the water crisis took place at the end of December, is inadequate," he said.
He said this during a media conference after meeting residents of Sri Melaka Flats, Cheras during a BN programme in Cheras, in Kuala Lumpur, yesterday.

Shortfall of treated water
Syabas executive chairperson Rozali Ismail had recently said the crisis, especially in Ampang and Cheras, was expected to continue until the Chinese New Year celebrations.
Rozali said the water crisis would be lengthy as there was a shortfall of treated water, rise in demand from time to time and the postponement of the capital expenditure (capex) programme encompassing repair works, upgrading or change of assets and current distribution system by the state government.
Capex involved was the freeze of capital spending against Syabas by the Selangor government.
In this regard, Ahmad Maslan urged all parties to cooperate when facing the crisis, to refrain against politicising it and to encourage the public to become volunteers to help affected residents.
In the meantime, Ahmad Maslan who is also Umno Information chief, said allBN members nationwide were now actively organising the 'There is a programme everyday' programme at all voting district centres in preparation for the 13th general election.
