Selangor Water Rationing

The Selangor State Government, Federal Government & SYABAS... these are the 3 parties the people of Selangor have to thank for making this possible... well done! Even Singapore, with limited water resources do not need to do this.

Water rationing will start from 2 March 2014 to 31 March 2014. Consumers will get water for 2 days and go without water for 2 days. Please refer below for the list of affected areas.

Luckily, some areas are spared. Those unlucky ones will have to bear with this for a month, maybe longer. When it comes to water resources planning, our wise leaders have decided to leave our fate in the hands of nature. Simply put, if it rains, you get water. If it doesn't, no water. River contaminated, no water. Treatment plant contaminated, no water.

In case anyone is wondering, it actually takes 5 years for both State & Federal Governments to come to an agreement on the construction of an additional water treatment plant. Nope, it's not built yet, but hey, at least they agreed to it. However, before this, the MB confidently assured us that there will be enough water for all.

Enough water for all in S’gor, KL: MB Khalid

Tuesday July 20, 2010

SHAH ALAM: Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim said Tuesday that there was enough water supply for all consumers in the state and Kuala Lumpur till 2019.

“The Selangor government has consulted several experts and, based on our calculations of population growth rate, past and present water consumption rates, current production capacity and water levels in the dams, there will be more than sufficient water supply to meet the demands of Selangor and Kuala Lumpur consumers well up to 2019, he said in a press release Tuesday.

He was refuting the Federal Government’s contention that Selangor would have to initiate water rationing by 2014. - READ MORE HERE

It's ok. It's not his fault. How could he have known that 5 year later, there would be a severe drought in Selangor right? Never mind that at other times of the year, there's enough rain to flood the city.

So, after this fiasco, I suppose the Selangor State Government expects the people to be grateful for their hardwork? Perhaps even give themselves bonuses and another round of salary increment next year?

Let go through some facts:

1. Malaysia goes through dry spells like this EVERY YEAR. Please don't make it sound like the hot and dry weather is an anomaly.

2. It is the responsibility of the governments to ensure the sufficiency of basic needs like water. 

3. The water catchment has not dried out yet. There's still water there. This rationing is actually a done just in case. We must take precautions right? Too bad for those unlucky ones affected. And too bad it didn't cross the mind of our MB and his team 5 years ago.

4. This event actually shows us that the people are at the mercy of politicians and privatised resource providers (the corporations). They can turn off the taps and there's nothing much you can do about it.

I really wonder how did SYABAS managed to provide water for the past 5 years? And the Federal Government's prediction of water rationing happened just as predicted, on the dot. Impressive.

This reminds me of the nationwide power outage back in the 90s, which was the precursor to the existence of the Independent Power Producers (IPPs). YTL Power was the first to be set up. And until today, the consumers continue paying for ever increasing electricity rates.

This water crisis reeks of the stench of politics. To me, this wasn't caused by the weather. It's man-made. Intentionally or otherwise, you be the judge.

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 28 — Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) said water rationing from March 2 to 31 will affect Kuala Lumpur, Gombak, Petaling, Klang, Shah Alam, Kuala Selangor and Hulu Selangor.

It is based on the rotation concept of two days with water supply and two days without water supply, it said in a statement here today.

The areas involved are divided into Zone 1 and Zone 2. Zone 1 is scheduled to get water on the 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th, 14th, 15th, 18th, 19th, 22nd, 23rd, 26th, 27th, 30th, 31st.

Zone 2 is scheduled to get water on the 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 12th, 13th, 16th, 17th, 20th, 21st, 24th, 25th, 28th, 29th.

Consumers in zones scheduled to get water are expected to get supply from 4pm for 41 hours until 9am, two days later.

Zones scheduled without water are expected to get disruption of supply from 9am for 55 hours until 4pm, two days later.

The statement said the longer distance between the pond, the premises and the height of areas will mean delay in water supply.

No water tankers and static water tanks will be made available for areas scheduled for supply cut except for death, feast, dialysis centres, welfare homes and government/private hospitals.

Syabas will not supply water to commercial and industrial users who can buy water by providing their own transport but subjected to approval.
