Pakatan rep supports Kedah govt's demand for raw water fee from Penang


ALOR STAR: A Pakatan Harapan assemblyman has voiced his support for the Kedah state government to demand payments from Penang for obtaining raw water from Sungai Muda, which flows from the state.

Opposition member Datuk Phahrolrazi Mohd Zawawi (PH-Alor Mengkudu) said the demand was reasonable as Kedah had to bear the cost of maintaining the river.
