Certain policies set by Amirudin needs review - Selangor Pas
Selangor Pas secretary Roslan Shahrir Mohd Shahir
Its secretary Roslan Shahrir Mohd Shahir claimed that under caretaker Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari’s helm, the free water policy had been realigned to limit the benefit exclusively to B40 individuals who registered for it.
“During Tan Sri Datuk Seri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim (former Menteri Besar)'s tenure, a generous allocation of 20m3 was extended to all residents but it was realigned when Amirudin assumed office.
“While we understand the intention behind the change, we advocated for a more inclusive approach by requesting that only 50 per cent registration be required,” he said.
This, Roslan said, would have made the process more accessible to those who were unsure about the registration process, ensuring a wider reach of support.
Roslan said the welfare of the people, especially during these challenging times when many are facing hardships should be prioritised.
"With the state's wealth estimated at 2 billion, we have the means to support the people more comprehensively.
"Therefore, I would like for the policy to be reconsidered to ensure that a significant proportion of the population can benefit without being hindered by registration complexities.
"We firmly believe that addressing local issues and uplifting the well-being of our communities should be at the heart of our governance efforts. By channelling resources to support the people, we can foster a more equitable and thriving society.
"Moving forward, we promote an inclusive approach, valuing diversity and open dialogue. By focusing on the welfare of the people, we can build a stronger, compassionate state for all."
He then urged the state government to adopt an inclusive approach to free water provision, prioritizing accessibility and support for all constituents.
