THE state government needs to prioritise Perak’s own water needs first before considering supplying the resource to other states.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir said a series of discussions on the sale of water have been held at the federal level, but nothing has been decided as the state is still evaluating all factors relevant to the proposal.
