GUA MUSANG: Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor is leaving it to Allah to bring rain to restore the water levels in three dams in Kedah.
"Wait for Allah to bring rain. We humans can't make rain ourselves, pray to Allah (for) rain. Allah will command the angels to bring rain.
"When the rain comes, the reservoirs will be full again. Don’t ask for a human solution to God's work; there is none, and man cannot do it. Wait for God to send the rain," he told reporters during the “Breakfast with the Kedah Chief Minister” programme in Renok here on Sunday (Aug 4).
Also present was PAS candidate for the Nenggiri state by-election, Mohd Rizwadi Ismail.
On Thursday, Bernama reported that the water level at Muda Dam was at 8%, Pedu Dam at 39.09%, and Ahning Dam at 81.80%, with an overall average of 43.68% across the three dams.
When asked if the depletion of the dams' water levels would affect agricultural activities, Muhammad Sanusi said the issue would not have an impact as water had been released from padi fields into Muda Agricultural Development Authority (Mada) rivers and they (rivers) were full now.
Mohd Rizwadi faces Barisan Nasional candidate Mohd Azmawi Fikri Abdul Ghani, representing the Unity Government, in the Nenggiri by-election on Aug 17.
This by-election is being held as the seat was declared vacant by Kelantan state assembly speaker Datuk Mohd Amar Nik Abdullah on June 19, after former incumbent Mohd Azizi Abu Naim ceased to be a member of Bersatu on June 13. – Bernama
