Water shortage in Klang Valley

It was reported many years ago that water in Klang Valley would face a crisis in 2007. Yet the state government and federal cabinet allowed many projects to carry on as if the water shortage can disappear...The state government allowed developments especially housing projects near to the catchment areas as a result of these developments the reservoir received less water every time it rains. But this doesnt worry the state government. It allowed more developments in the state and now with the so called 'developed status' there was the recent flood in Shah Alam... and also the privatisation of the Selangor rivers.....Then where will be water for the people? I reckon the cost will be high...and many protests will be on the streets. Before it really happens for the taps to run dry in the homes and worst off can be the highrise buildings and offices, it is better now to learn how to save water. This precious commodity must be nurtured it seriously. Every body must play an important role to save water. I foresee the crisis will become serious and many people will be affected. So I wish my home state to tackle it now before it worsens off in the future. Now I am out of my home state.

Goodnight Malaysia tell the leaders to wake up and not dream about ringgit...!
