Minister: Penang morally obliged to pay Kedah for Sungai Muda water


ALOR SETAR: Penang is morally obliged to pay Kedah for the water it takes from Sungai Muda, says Environment and Water Minister Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

He said Penang has every right to draw water from Sungai Muda in its territory, but should realise that Kedah had also made efforts to protect the water catchment areas in the Ulu Muda forest.
