Johor hit by water shortages over the past year

PETALING JAYA: Johor has been beset by water shortages over the past year, especially in the areas around Kota Tinggi and Pengerang, affecting hundreds of thousands of consumers.

In April and July, the state saw two cases of pollution in Sg Johor, forcing some 600,000 people in Johor Baru, Pasir Gudang and Kulai, and industries in the south to be without water for up to three days.
