Air Selangor could delay capex works

Studying options: Air Selangor CEO Suhaimi Kamaralzaman is studying the options of becoming a licensee after acquiring Splash or for Air Selangor to get the licence first while Splash becomes a concessionaire for the time being. See page 2

PETALING JAYA: Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor), which has spent close to RM850mil to maintain the state’s water assets infrastructure since 2011, may face delays in obtaining its operating licence due to uncertainties relating to the acquisition of Syarikat Pengeluar Air Sungai Selangor Sdn Bhd (Splash).

This, in turn, has delayed its submission of a three-year capital expenditure plan to the federal government and hence would not be able to undertake major upgrading works to improve the water infrastructure in the state.
