SHAH ALAM: Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim dropped a bombshell by disclosing that since the Government has elected to forcibly acquire the water assets in the state, the price will be lower by about RM2bil from its original RM9.65bil offer.

He also said the water concessionaires would be informed by the Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister about the invocation of the Water Services Industry Act 2006 (Wasia).
