Klang Valley Water Cut Starts Today

Jun 05, 2024

Air Selangor has reminded consumers in the Klang Valley to use water sparingly, during the water supply disruption that starts today.  

It adds that it will deploy 180 water tanker trucks to affected areas, especially at critical premises like hospitals, clinics and dialysis centres.  

The disruption, in Petaling, Klang, Shah Alam, Gombak, KL, Hulu Selangor and Kuala Selangor, is due to maintenance work at the Sungai Selangor Phase 1 water treatment plant.  

Supplies are expected to resume in stages from early tomorrow morning.

Malaysia is moving closer to giving consumers better legal protections, if they buy defective vehicles.   

The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry says such laws are due to be tabled in Parliament by March next year at the earliest.  

According to its minister, it will either table new legislation, or make amendments to existing laws.  

Under the proposed Lemon Law, buyers will be able to seek compensation for newly purchased vehicles that fail to meet quality or performance standards.
