JOHOR BARU: The state government is working closely with Ranhill SAJ Sdn Bhd (Ranhill SAJ) and Johor Water Regulatory Body (Bakaj) to monitor the water supply situation here in view of the current hot spell.

State International Trade, Investment and Utilities Committee chairman Jimmy Puah Wee Tse said the government will ensure enough water supply throughout the long dry spell despite falling levels at four dams.
