Energy, Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Maximus Ongkili says Putrajaya’s demand of free land was part of the master agreement in the Selangor water deal. – The Malaysian Insider file pic, March 10, 2015.
Putrajaya did not renege on the Selangor water deal by demanding free land as the provision was already inked in the master agreement, said Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister Datuk Seri Maximus Ongkili.
Contrary to Selangor's accusations, the land was part of the assets stated in the master agreement.
"There are no additional new terms. They did not read the agreement properly. It states that the assets include the land above and below the pipes," he said and proceeded to read part of the agreement to reporters at a press conference at the Parliament lobby today.
The federal government therefore did not contravene the spirit and principles of the agreement, the minister said.
