PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Government will be writing off outstanding water debts of states, amounting to RM3.8bil incurred between 2001 and 2018, says Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad. The Prime Minister also announced that future rural water supply projects would no longer be financed via soft loans from the Federal Government. — APOn the issue of toll, Dr Mahathir again acknowledged that the move would be a burden to the government, despite Pakatan Harapan’s pledge to have it abolished. Dr Mahathir was asked about the views of Tun Daim Zainuddin who said the Pakatan government, in its second year, should focus on issues affecting the people. But we have not decided on anything yet,” said Dr Mahathir.
