Unity meet: Govt will sort out Sabah and Kelantan water woes by year's end, says PM

KUALA LUMPUR: Water woes in Kelantan and Sabah will be resolved by the end of the year, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

“The issue of funds, loans or bonds are our problem and shouldn’t be borne by the people.

“I will also be meeting with the Kelantan Mentri Besar and Sabah Chief Minister and their teams to find a way to solve this.

“Even if it takes billions, we will find a way to solve it by this year,” he said during his speech at the Unity Government National Convention here on Sunday (May 14).

He said there was also no excuse for any government in 2023 to carry out large programmes to solve these issues permanently.

“We can’t solve this in silos. This has nothing to do with the state elections or what not.

“It’s about the people,” he said.
