PKR Strategic Director Rafizi Ramli says the water deal inked by the Selangor and federal governments may lead to water tariff hikes in the state

In revealing the MoU today, Rafizi says the deal, which involves the federal government acquiring water facilities in Selangor as well as the Langat 2 water treatment plant, will both be financed with public money.

As a result, he says, the debt burden will force Selangor's new water operators to increase water tariffs in the state.
