COMMENT Imagine not taking your bath, cooking and using water for all necessities for four days.

It’s absolutely unfair to four million people in the Klang Valley, who will be affected by water cuts for four days.

This was reflected in a random Twitter poll taken this morning (Monday) by BFM radio station.

In the poll, 82 percent of the people said the water cut was unjustified, while 18 percent commented it was necessary for maintenance work. An overwhelming number of people are not happy with the water cuts.

A former Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) substation engineer said that the solution was to install mobile back-up power generating units to continue supplying power to the water concessionaires.

“This is sheer incompetence on the TNB not to provide generating sets to avert the water disruption in a fair manner to the customers.

“It is shocking TNB can provide back-up mobile power generating units for political events and rock concerts but fail to help four million customers. Perhaps, TNB, Syabas and Selangor state leaders are not seeing eye-to-eye to help customers,” the engineer said.
