PUTRAJAYA: The new Energy, Green Technology and Water Minister,Datuk Seri Dr Maximus Ongkili (pix), has called on the Federal and Selangor government to find a 'common ground' in solving the water problem.
In expressing his wish to meet Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim soon, Dr Ongkili said the ministry hoped that the proposal to restructure the water industry in Selangor would come to an amicable conclusion.
"Political differences should be set aside (and) scoring points over each other will be the last on the list.
"I hope to sit down with (Khalid) as soon as possible, as soon as we have explored areas that we can work together, taking into account decisions and agreements made previously.
"I am full of confidence that we can talk sense," Dr Ongkili said after attending a closed-door briefing with ministry staff Tuesday.
He added that he would like to reduce the system average interruption duration index (SAIDI), or electricity interruption, in Sabah by half in the next two years.
