KUALA LUMPUR: Water, which rightfully belongs to the masses, should not be turned into a political issue, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.

Hence, he said the Federal Government had allocated an additional RM120mil to Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor (Syabas) to ease Selangor’s water woes.

Najib, who made the announcement at the launch of the 1Malaysia People’s Aid 2.0 (BR1M 2.0) in Taman Dagang, Ampang near here, said the allocation was in addition to the RM606mil that had already been given to Syabas.

“We do not want the people of Selangor to continue being victimised.
