KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): In the interest of the people of Kedah and Penang, both state governments should immediately come to an agreement on the issue of raw water charges that has been going on since 2010, says Consumers Association of Kedah (CAKE) secretary Mohd Yusrizal Yusoff.

He said although the issue, which is deemed as quite complex, as both parties have their own stand and views, a win-win situation between the two states can be achieved if the welfare of the people is given priority.
