KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 11 ― PKR’s Rafizi Ramli today alleged that the current water supply disruptions hitting Klang Valley residents were due to “political sabotage” by Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (SYABAS).

The PKR strategy director said SYABAS executive chairman Tan Sri Rozali Ismail’s explanations over the water supply crisis was nonsensical, and that the entire affair was a political gambit by rivals Umno.

Rozali was formerly treasurer to Umno Selangor.

“Therefore, in desperation, Umno with the blessings of Datuk Seri Najib took the decision to sabotage the water supply in Selangor to cause the people to hate Pakatan Rakyat,” Rafizi said at a press conference here.

He also unveiled PKR’s action plan to alleviate the water supply problem.

He said the party will buy and install water pumps at affected flats so that residents could get direct water supply, instead of carrying water from the supply tankers.
