IPOH: There should be enough water supply in the country even during droughts, says the Prime Minister who has tasked the Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change Ministry with looking at ways to address problems during the dry weather.

Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said it makes no sense for Malaysia to have water supply issues when it receives ample rainfall all year long.Speaking of a friend in Jordan who runs an olive farm, Anwar said he believes there are technology and new methods available to prevent water shortages during droughts.
