Extend olive branch instead of provoking Penang, Kedah MB told

PETALING JAYA: Penang deputy chief minister P Ramasamy has told Kedah menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor to extend an olive branch to Penang to resolve its raw water spat instead of continuing to provoke the state.

The DAP man pointed out that Penang has come to Kedah’s aid by dispatching personnel and a water tanker to assist several areas in the state currently hit by water shortage.

He said 25 personnel from Penang’s water authority were mobilised under the 60th Royal Water Engineers Regiment (RAJD) to supply treated water as well as lay and repair pipes from March 21 to April 5.

“It is abundantly clear that Sanusi, despite his big talk of punishing Penang with muddy water, has abandoned the people in his state to suffer water shortage.

“If good sense prevails, as a result of this humanitarian gesture by Penang, Sanusi should stop provoking Penang. In fact, he should wave the olive branch towards Penang.

“Let us see whether the current drought in Kedah leading to water shortage can knock some sense into Sanusi’s head,” he said in a Facebook post today.
