Malaysia newspaper, The Star, has reported that Indah Water was fined RM50,000 for polluting river. We have been told that Indah Water is taking care of the sewerage and cleaning, filtering the waste till it is safe for the environment, but it has been proved otherwise. I am sure that there are many more unreported cases was covered up.
First of all, why we have to paying for a private company with services that we didn't even authourised in the first place. I don't recalled that I have signed any paper to enable them bill me twice a year. Whatever agreement between Indah Water and the government is not direct relationship with us, the citizen. I don't think that it is even legal for them to bill us. Unlike highway toll operator, we are not even given the choice not to use it.
For me, sewerage handling is one of the social responsibilities of the government. If the government is privatizing the sewerage, infrastructure, electricity, water and so on; we will be end up paying for it, on top of of taxes. Why should we be paying double? No wonder the pirate are so rich, they are basically eaten us alive.
