Masalah air di Selangor pulih tengah malam ini

Masalah gangguan bekalan air di kawasan sekitar Selangor dijangka pulih secara berperingkat mulai tengah malam ini.

Pengerusi Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Air Negara (SPAN), Charles Santiago berkata pemulihan air itu melibatkan kira-kira 1.3 juta pengguna yang terjejas di kawasan tersebut.

“Kita (SPAN) telah diberitahu dalam mesyuarat tadi bahawa air akan mula mengalir kepada rumah-rumah di Selangor pada malam ini.

“Mereka (Air Selangor) telah mula mengalirkan air pada tengah hari tadi dan menstabilkan kedudukan air (di tangki-tangki Loji Rawatan) untuk digunakan ke rumah-rumah.

“Menjelang penghujung hari ini, air akan kembali,” katanya dalam sidang media di sini, pada Isnin.

Mengulas lanjut katanya, SPAN memberi jaminan bahawa air yang diagihkan kepada pengguna adalah air yang disahkan bersih daripada pencemaran.

Jelasnya, SPAN turut mengenal pasti punca pencemaran bau di Sungai Semenyih berpunca daripada pembuangan sisa bahan haram seperti minyak hitam, lemak makanan dan sis industri.

Terdahulu, Loji Rawatan Air Sungai Semenyih terpaksa dihenti tugas sepenuhnya ekoran insiden pencemaran bau di Sungai Semenyih.

Susulan penutupan itu sebanyak 366 kawasan dengan akaun pengguna sebanyak 328,957 di Wilayah Petaling, Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat dan Sepang telah terjejas.

A new report by the think tank SERI titled ‘Teens, Tech, and Trust’ reveals that fewer than half of Malaysian teens feel safe online— with cyberbullying, scams, and hacking being everyday realities. Meanwhile, questions are being raised about whether schools, parents, and even social media platforms are doing enough to protect our young digital citizens. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Benjamin Loh, senior lecturer at Taylor’s University School of Media and Communication and director of the Impact Lab for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
