ALOR STAR: A Pakatan Harapan assemblyman has voiced his support for the Kedah state government to demand payments from Penang for obtaining raw water from Sungai Muda, which flows from the state.
Opposition member Datuk Phahrolrazi Mohd Zawawi said the demand was reasonable as Kedah had to bear the cost of maintaining the river.
"But I am aware there is no allocation from a legal standpoint to impose charges," he said when debating the motion of thanks for the royal address by Kedah's Sultan Sallehuddin Sultan Badlishah at the Kedah state assembly here on Tuesday . Phahrolrazi said the raw water fees demanded from Penang was necessary as the Kedah people had to pay their water bills to enjoy supply obtained from Sungai Muda.
