Water from taps safe to drink, says Xavier


KUALA LUMPUR: It is safe to drink water directly from the tap, says Minister of Water, Land and Natural Resources Dr Xavier Jayakumar. 

"Water that comes from the taps throughout the country can be drunk and there are no problems. If there are problems, they are localised and not because of the treatment," he said.
