PETALING JAYA: There is confusion among consumers whether the latest raw water pollution incident at Sungai Selangor would affect their water supply or not.
In its latest update on its social media accounts, Air Selangor said four water treatment plants along Sungai Selangor are back in operation Tuesday (Dec 8) morning after being shutdown earlier due to pollution.
However, it did not give an indication as to how this would affect water supply of households in the Klang Valley.
“The treatment plants are operating. We are doing our best to stabilise the distribution system.
“Please refer to the information which would be updated from time to time on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, the AirSelangor app and our website, ” it said in reply to an enquiry by a Twitter user as to whether the water supply was disrupted.
Earlier, Air Selangor said the Rantau Panjang water treatment plant stopped operations at 11.30pm Monday (Dec 7) while Phases 1,2 and 3 of the Sungai Selangor water treatment plants had to stop at 1am Tuesday.
In its earlier notice, Air Selangor also said the halt in the operations caused unscheduled water cuts in 1,274 areas in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling, Klang, Shah Alam, Kuala Selangor, Hulu Selangor, Gombak and Kuala Langat.

KUALA LUMPUR: Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) has made early preparations for its three hydroelectric dams since early August to face the monsoon season this year.
"Some of the preparations that were made include the management of the water levels through controlled release of water at all dams and thorough inspection at all hydroelectric stations owned by TNB," said TNB chief ventures officer Datuk Nor Azman Mufti.
"Fire drills and safety and preparation tests with other government agencies who are involved with flood management were also done," he said.
Nor Azman said other than generating renewable energy for the country, the hydroelectric dams also serve as a flood mitigation system which prevents disasters from worsening, especially at downstream river areas.
"Before the monsoon season, the water levels at the dams were reduced through controlled release of the water to ensure that the dams are able to hold the increasing rainwater.
"With that, there is no need to drastically release the water contained at the dams during the monsoon season, which can cause disasters at the downstream river areas," said Nor Azman.

PETALING JAYA: Amid all the news about Covid-19 vaccines, tales still abound of home remedies as an antidote to the virus.
Herbs, healing oils, honey and home-made concoctions – these are some of the “preventive measures” being talked about among Malaysians despite the authorities’ battle against misinformation.
In a tweet on Oct 22, the Health Ministry reminded Malaysians that “there is no cure for #Covid-19 so far. If there are parties selling products that claim to be able to treat Covid-19, it is fake”.
Yet, that has not stopped the “snake oil salesman”.
For example, a banner offering free services related to “vaksin penawar Covid-19” was put up near a tree in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur.
The banner, which displayed a phone number, also stated that “telemedicine was available”.
A picture of the banner was posted last month by a Twitter user named Hafiz, who was amused by it. When contacted later, Hafiz said the banner had since been removed.

KUALA LUMPUR: Ten members of a mule account syndicate were arrested in raids by Bukit Aman’s Commercial Crime Investigation Department around Kuala Lumpur and Selangor from Nov 5 to 10.
The syndicate uses bank accounts of low-income individuals for illegal activities such as investment fraud and other scams.
Bukit Aman CCID director Datuk Zainuddin Yaacob said all the suspects arrested were locals aged between 20 and 32 comprising seven men and three women, and they were believed to have purchased each ATM card for between RM500 to RM800 from members of the public.
Members of the syndicate are believed to influence 'investors' by promising them a healthy return, and after a victim places money into the account, they will withdraw it via automatic teller machine (ATM) cards obtained from the account holders who are unaware that the accounts are being used for fraud.
"Following the arrests, the police have received a total of 32 reports involving mule account cases nationwide, involving losses worth about RM1.2 million,” he said.
Zainuddin said members of the syndicate were also found renting condominiums for between RM3,000 to RM5,000 a month to prevent their activities from being detected by the authorities.

Kuala Lumpur: Dianggarkan hampir 100 syarikat penyedia kandungan dikesan melakukan jenayah 'menyedut' kredit prabayar milik pengguna telefon bimbit menyebabkan mangsa kerugian hampir RM100 juta sejak 10 tahun lalu.
Difahamkan syarikat ini aktif 'mencuri' wang milik pengguna talian prabayar hasil kegiatan membeli data peribadi pengguna dengan menyogok kakitangan syarikat telekomunikasi (telco) tempatan.
Sumber Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM) mendedahkan kepada Harian Metro, syarikat ini akan menghantar pelbagai kandungan mesej melalui sistem pesanan ringkas (SMS) ke telefon bimbit pelanggan talian prabayar sebelum mangsa dikenakan caj antara 50 sen hingga RM5 bagi setiap penghantaran 'sampah.'
Menurutnya, ramai pakar teknikal dan 'orang penting' syarikat telco yang dikesan bersekongkol dengan menjual data peribadi milik pelanggan berdaftar talian prabayar.
"Jika diambil kira jumlah kerugian pengguna prabayar di negara ini susulan aktiviti haram dikesan, SPRM menganggarkan ia mencecah RM100 juta jika mengambil kira peratusan keuntungan diperoleh telco dan syarikat penyedia kandungan ini," katanya.

PETALING JAYA: Newly-wed ‘Nellie’ jumped from the balcony of her first floor flat at 3.30am to escape her abusive husband, one week into their marriage.
The 21-year-old emotionally and physically battered bride required surgery, having suffered multiple fractures on four toes in the fall.
She was forced by her family into an arranged marriage on March 14, four days before the movement control order (MCO) was enforced in Malaysia because of the Covid-19 outbreak.
On the first day of the MCO, her husband began beating her. He threatened to hunt ‘Nellie’ and kill her if she tried to flee.
‘Nellie’ was recently discharged from the hospital and is at a Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO) shelter where she is being assisted with case management.
The story of ‘Nellie’ paints a bleak picture of life for women for whom the lockdown of fear and abuse has intensified.
