Rayer wants cost-cutting measures, not drastic water rate hike

Jelutong MP RSN Rayer has hit out at the Penang Water Supply Corporation over what he called a sudden drastic increase in water rates.

He pointed to a statement by PBAPP CEO K Pathmanathan, saying it was trying to justify the sudden drastic increase in water rates in Penang by citing an apparent need to spend billions of ringgit for additional infrastructure.
