What if there is a water shortage in Kepala Batas?


The UMNO led federal government is holding back a RM1.1 billion federal allocation for expansion of the Mengkuang Dam, located in Permatang Pauh.

This will cause a critical water shortage for Penang's growing population in four years.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has warned that the dam’s expansion must be implemented by early next year and completed by 2012 to ensure Penang has sufficient raw water to meet the increasing water demand until 2024.
If there is a water shortage in Penang, Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang (PBA) should cut the water supply to Kepala Batas (the hometown of Pak Lah) first. This is because Pak Lah as PM cum Finance Minister is the person who held back the RM1.1 billion allocation for the Mengkuang Dam expansion.
Therefore if there is water shortage in Kepala Batas, the residents can only blame themselves for voting for Pak Lah!
