PETALING JAYA
: A proposal to have the federal government underwrite the cost to upkeep and protect water catchment areas has been dismissed as unsustainable.
Instead, states should work together to find a win-win solution, according to an expert on water issues, and an economist.
Association of Water and Energy Research Malaysia president
S. Piarapakaran said any move by the federal government to provide financial support to a state to protect water catchment areas will prompt other states to make similar demands.
“In the end, what is going to happen to taxpayers’ money? Will it be used to pay for protecting such areas or for infrastructure development?”
