PETALING JAYA: Former Klang MP Charles Santiago has called for urgent action on the country’s water resources management, saying it must be viewed as a national security issue.

“Existing companies are departing Malaysia due to inadequate water resources.

Santiago, who is National Water Services Commission chairman, added that sufficient water availability can be a major attraction for new businesses. “The 2024 budget allocates RM1.1 billion for infrastructure development for Sabah, Labuan and Kelantan. However, the building of 5 littoral combat ships cost RM11.9 billion despite us not being at war,” he said.He said that if the water sector were to be allocated RM11.9 billion, the country could achieve tremendous gains in initiatives to reduce non-revenue water rates, push towards reclaimed water, cleaning of rivers, and the development of other water infrastructures.

The state needs sustainable development, with emphasis on environmental protection, he was reported to have said.
