ISKANDAR PUTERI: Account holders affected by the recent floods in Johor can enjoy up to a 40% discount on their water bill for March and April, says Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi.
He said the decision was made following discussions between the state government and water supply company Ranhill SAJ Sdn Bhd.“The government’s cash assistance involving a total value of RM34.2mil will also be disbursed to the affected head of households latest by the end of March.
He said this was because Segamat and Batu Pahat have far more flood victims compared with other districts, and would take a longer time to completely disburse the aid to all the victims. Onn Hafiz added that many victims could not save their important documents in time when floodwaters rose rapidly so the state government also agreed to waive the RM250 replacement fee for property grants lost or destroyed in the natural disaster.
