Water crisis fear grips Melaka

Dry days: This is the situation at the water catchment area in Durian Tunggal, Melaka.

MELAKA: A consumer association here wants the state government to resolve the people’s worry that a water crisis may happen following speculation that the additional supply from Sungai Gresik in Johor is inadequate to meet demand.

Melaka Consumer and Environment Association chairman K. Murali said residents here have the right to know whether the water supply in Melaka had reached a critical point and whether the supply from Johor would be able to meet the shortage.
