According to Astro Awani, he said that on top of this discount scheme, more than 30,000 households in Perak would also be able to receive free water in their homes as well as part of the subsidy scheme. He said that it was a targeted scheme for needy households and the state government had decided to increase the amount of free water allocated to the households.
The previous free water subsidy scheme was only limited to 20m³ but will now be increased to 25m³. It is expected that more than 140,000 households in Perak will get to enjoy the 10% discount on their water bills and Ahmad said that this initiative was all part of Pakatan Harapan’s promise to reduce the cost of living for the rakyat.
