Radzi questions lack of action over Putrajaya water woes
The Putrajaya MP says rusty water has stained school uniforms and caused skin irritation.
Putrajaya MP Radzi Jidin has voiced concern over the government's failure to address issues of rusty and dirty water affecting residents, especially those in government quarters. He has repeatedly raised the matter with relevant agencies via letters to the chief secretary, yet no comprehensive plan to resolve the problem has been formulated. Radzi recounted receiving numerous complaints, including children's school uniforms turning yellow due to water-staining and residents experiencing skin irritation.
The MP specifically requested to know when the government would allocate funds to tackle the issue. Additionally, Radzi advocated for ensuring all eligible civil servants receive the full RM90 monthly parking reimbursement, a policy currently unevenly implemented across ministries and agencies in Putrajaya. Due to limited parking, many civil servants, particularly those in lower grades, are forced to use paid parking facilities, with some agencies rejecting claims or imposing reimbursement limits due to insufficient allocations.
Radzi urged the government to ensure all eligible civil servants receive the reimbursement at the prescribed rate.
