A week ago, my filter 'jammed' up and had to be taken away for 'servicing'. It's been so long that I actually took a look at 'unfiltered' water. And to my surprise, the water which came out from the pipe actually looked yellowish to my naked eye. Water used to look cleaner from my last memory.
We've been building more water treatment plants. Yet the water that comes out of it seems to look muddy. My ex-neighbour used to tell me that she sometimes found pieces of mud in her washing machine.
And there is also rampant fixing of pumps to increase the water pressure into their houses. Years ago, when I complained to JKR, the guy they sent told us to fix one too, despite it being against the law. So, people continue to flout the law since enforcement seems to be very inconsistent and as a result our water pressure is low. Recently, it has become worse...
Water. We privatise them. Privatization = Better Service (???) Doesn't feel like it. Service is supposed to get better.

i too don't get it with our waters... are the filter companies bribing them??
If its Msia, its the tak kisah mentality.
A more possible scenario, those companies awarded tenders might have to pay 'extra' so, quality is compromised. And Dino is probably right too... the tak kisah mentality is well and alive and kicking!
