Water Stress

In light of the recent tit for tat between the Federal Government, Selangor State Government and Syabas, and also between members of Pakatan Rakyat and BN,  I feel it is important that we are not distracted or misled from the real issue, which is water management. The core issue or problem if you like, is MANAGEMENT.

Below are a couple of charts which will hopefully give a better picture of the issue, instead of swallowing the dumb excuses and accusations dispensed by those incompetent fools.

As you can see, Malaysia is actually one of the least water-stressed countries in the world. Which means Malaysians actually have more than enough water for their own needs, with spare to sell to our neighbour, Singapore which happens to belong to one of the water-stressed countries.

First question: Why are we facing a water shortage then? The answer is mismangement and incompetence! And they have the cheek to blame the consumers!

Second question: Is the current company, Syabas, delivering in their job? Short answer, no. Long answer, although they have put the state in jeopardy, there's nothing you can do about it! Either they are untouchable or the governments are powerless or simply refuse to take action.

Which brings us to the third question: What kind of people do we have running the government? Both state and federal are incompetent and mismanaged the country's resources. They also seem to be powerless against a water management corporation or any other corporations which controls the privatised assets, such as the IPPs.

And the irony is, all the parties involved, federal, state & Syabas seemed to have agreed on one thing, which is to put the blame on the people!

Which begs the question, who actually runs and controls the country?
