PKR director of strategy Rafizi Ramli has claimed the water deal inked between the Selangor and federal governments may lead to water tariff hikes in the state.
Rafizi (left) said the deal, which involves the federal government acquiring water facilities in Selangor as well as the Langat 2 water treatment plant, will both be financed by public money.
As a result, Rafizi said the debt burden will force Selangor's new water operators to increase water tariff in the state.
"...The higher the cost of the Langat 2 project, the higher the public debt and the water tariff that the rakyat must foot," he told a press conference at the PKR headquarters in Petaling Jaya this afternoon.
