Selangor govt must explain car park privatisation deal, says MCA
Selangor MCA deputy chairman Tan Gim Tuan said full transparency of the car park privatisation deal is needed to prevent any third party from making profits at the expense of ratepayers. PETALING JAYA : Selangor MCA has urged the state government to explain the proposed car park privatisation deal allegedly involving public land, warning that any decision made without public consultation would be irresponsible. Selangor MCA deputy chairman and urban affairs bureau head Tan Gim Tuan said any arrangement involving public land must be subject to public scrutiny. He urged the state government to explain the full terms of the deal, and how it will benefit the public. 'They must explain in detail whether such a deal exists, the terms and conditions, and how the deal benefits the people,' he said. According to state executive councillor Ng Suee Lim, the concession for a 'smart parking system' covering collections of parking fees and enforcement will involve local councils, state-owned Rantaian Mesra Sdn Bhd and a private company. Ng said enforcement would be carried out by local council officers, with Rantaian Mesra to act as a system coordinator. The private company, which has yet to be appointed, will handle the four local councils' daily parking operations. He said Rantaian Mesra and the other company are expected to invest around RM200 million to develop the infrastructure for the smart parking system. Tan said the principle of public consultation was officially introduced when Petaling Jaya was granted city status in 2006, and must now be applied consistently across Selangor. He pointed out that city councillors in Selangor are political appointees representing parties in the state government, and therefore have a responsibility to serve the interests of ratepayers and not just private entities. He also said full transparency is needed to prevent any third party from making profits at the expense of ratepayers. The four local councils involved in the first phase of the scheme are the Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, and Shah Alam city councils and the Selayang municipal council.

Negri has submitted application to SPAN to review domestic water rates, says MB
SEREMBAN: The Negri Sembilan government has submitted an application to the National Water Services Commission (SPAN) to review water rates for domestic users in the state. Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Aminuddin Harun ( pic ) said an increase was necessary to enable state water concessionaire Syarikat Air Negri Sembilan (SAINS) to continue operating. He said the recent increase in water tariffs would add to SAINS' operating expenditure. "We are proposing a marginal increase for households as we need to understand that SAINS' operating costs will surely go up with the increase in tariffs. "SAINS has also been giving some form of subsidy for a certain percentage of water usage and it has to increase water rates marginally to enable it to continue its operations," he said. Aminuddin said a slight increase was also justified as about RM20mil annually is used to replace old and broken pipes in the state. He said SAINS also had to spend money to repair and upgrade water tanks to ensure supply in some areas is not disrupted. He also said more funds would be needed for more water tanks in areas with water supply issues. Aminuddin said the state would apply for a RM100mil allocation from the Federal Government to improve the water supply network in the state. "This is over and above the allocation set aside by SAINS," he said, adding that he hoped consumers would understand that the proposal to increase water tariffs was not to enrich Sains but to allow it to continue operating and provide quality water supply. Last week, SPAN said it had received applications from 10 states to review their water tariff rates. SPAN is empowered by the Water Services Industry Act 2006 to regulate and monitor the economic, technical, and social aspects of the water supply and sewerage services industry in Peninsular Malaysia, Putrajaya and Labuan.
