KOTA BARU: The Kelantan government will give a waiver on water bill for households that use water amounting to RM30 and below during Ramadan to 146,660 account holders of Air Kelantan Sdn Bhd (AKSB) involving RM3mil.

       Mentri Besar Datuk Ahmad Yakob said it showed the state government’s concern, especially when the people will observe the fasting month starting April 3.

       “We hope it can ease their burden to some extent,” Bernama quoted him during the sitting of the fifth session of the 14th Kelantan state assembly at Kota Darulnaim.

       Galas assemblyman Mohd Syahbuddin Hashim had earlier proposed for the state government to give a water bill discount of 50% to consumers who were facing water problems in the state.

       The initiative was to calm the people’s anger against the Kelantan government as water woes have been plaguing the state for a long time.

       The fifth session of the state assembly has been adjourned sine die yesterday after sitting for four days since Monday.
