The Klang MP believes that the federal government’s decision to bail out Syabas was contradicting its original intention of privatising the water company.

PETALING JAYA: An opposition MP said that the federal government's decision to bail out water concessionaire Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) showed that the country's privatisation model had failed.

Klang MP Charles Santiago said the bailout itself was contradicting the government's original intention of privatising utility companies in the first place.

"The idea to privatise was mooted to cut cost on the government's side and to improve the water company's delivery system as it is run by the private sector.

"But now the government has to step in and spend a lot of money to save the company which was irresponsibly managed," said Santiago.

On Wednesday, a financial daily reported that Syarikat Pengurusan Aset Air Bhd (PAAB), the federal government's water asset management company, would acquire Syabas' bond debts for a whopping RM6.5 billion.

Earlier, the Selangor government had offered of RM6.3 billion to Syabas in its attempt to acquire its assets before the federal government stepped in.

The water concessionaire's problem began when it was barred from implementing a 37% tariff hike agreed upon in January 2009, as the Selangor government claimed the water distributor had not done enough to reduce leakages which cost the state millions.

Santiago believed the entire episode could have been avoided if Syabas had a managed itself responsibly in the first place.

"In a normal scenario, when a company makes money it will first pay off its debts before paying out dividends to its shareholders.

"Here we have the water concessionaire (Syabas) doing the reverse which had caused this problem," said Santiago.

He added that this also proved that the government was willing to pay for the mistakes of a private entity as long as it was a government crony.

"It's taxpayers' money that is being used to save this company. Is this the economic system the federal government is promoting under the New Economic Model (NEM)?

"The government seems to have money to bail out its rich cronies but it doesn't have enough funds to provide subsidies for the poor," said Santiago.

(雪蘭莪‧巴生25日訊)班達馬蘭武吉克拉容路(J a l a n B u k i tKerayong)沿路的地段,今早險些上演拆屋風波。

班達馬蘭武吉克拉容發展計劃的承包商,原定今日上午,在武吉克拉容路沿路的地段進行"清理"工作,包括拆除一間住家和一間汽車噴漆廠。

相關單位仍進行談判

不過,有關屋主和業者堅持此事件中的所有相關單位,仍在進行談判且未有最後結果,因此極力阻止對方進行"清理"工作,承包商見狀惟有收隊,無功而返。

據瞭解,承包商一早便安排挖泥機到現場,準備隨時展開"清理"工作,惟有關屋主黃清良和業者吳亞順,同樣嚴陣以待,其中黃清良更把自己的貨車停放在路口處,以阻止挖泥機駛入。

巴生區國會議員查爾斯在接獲武吉克拉容搬遷委員會主席徐志榮的投訴後也趕到現場,並與承包商代表張先生進行瞭解,讓此事件在和氣下獲得調停,未引發任何不愉快事件。

查爾斯:若承包商一意孤行屬違例

查爾斯說,各造的談判仍在進行中,未達任何共識,而且此案目前也在法庭審訊中,若承包商一意孤行進行拆除便是違例。

他說,根據承包商日前向屋主與業者發出的通知,雖指在本週三(25日)進行的是"清理"工作,但相信一旦有關工作展開,工程且將延伸至巴板路木屋區。

他表示已聯絡雪州行政議員依斯甘達,要求雪州政府介入協商,指示有關發展商暫停所有"清理"和拆除工作,直至談判結果出爐為止。

查爾斯說,事實上,這已是承包商第四次欲展開"清理"工作。同時相信承包商將會再有行動。他表示,若承包商一意孤行,他們將申請庭令禁止拆除,但這將導致事件再拖延個兩、三年,相信此舉對任何一方都沒有好處。

另一方面,徐志榮說,目前雙方的談判仍未有任何決定,他們還在等待中。

"最後一次的談判是在去年10月,我們希望對方可以前來與我們繼續協商,而我們的要求依然不變,即以1間賠1間,雙層樓的屋身面積是是20X70,總面積為2千平方呎,然而,發展商給予我們的賠償是一層半的屋子,總面積僅有1千400平方呎。"

據瞭解,有關發展計劃共佔地230英畝,其中涉及的地段包括武吉克拉容的50英畝和巴板路木屋區的95英畝;前者有25住家和工廠,以及3間神廟,而後者則還有117間木屋住戶。
