"Hearing customers complaining of problems with water, such as having foul and fishy smell and rust, I suggested that they use mudballs to purify the water.
"Making mudball goes through a storage process of up to two weeks.

PETALING JAYA: As the government mulls making the wearing of face masks in public places mandatory, some are for it while others offer a more cautious view as the country continues in its fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Alliance for Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said complacency had started to set in with many Malaysians disregarding social distancing, wearing face masks and avoiding crowded places.
“I think the statement by Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin is very apt, relevant and timely.
“From what we have been observing, compliance with the standard operating procedure has been reduced with social distancing and use of face masks not being practised in many places, especially in crowded areas.
“The Prime Minister is warning us not to let our guard down, otherwise there will be a second wave, ” he said.

Jaminan Kualiti Air Setaraf Negara Maju Pada Tahun 2028
MASIH ramai dalam kalangan kita yang merasakan air paip tidak selamat untuk digunakan. Tetapi tahukah anda bahawa Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) mengeluarkan garis panduan Piawaian Kualiti Air Minum Kebangsaan yang perlu dipatuhi oleh syarikat perkhidmatan bekalan air dalam menghasilkan kualiti air minum yang kelihatan jernih, tidak mempunyai sebarang rasa, warna dan bau.
Cabaran dan persepsi terhadap kualiti air
Cabaran terbesar yang dihadapi oleh syarikat pembekal air di negara ini adalah untuk mengubah persepsi masyarakat bahawa bekalan air paip mereka adalah selamat untuk diminum terus daripada paip tanpa menggunakan penapis air. Ini adalah benar berdasarkan kaji selidik Behaviourial Study on Domestic Water Usage Patterns In Selangor dijalankan oleh Frost & Sullivan pada tahun 2019 ke atas 2,128 responden. Meskipun kualiti bekalan air yang dibekalkan oleh Air Selangor adalah pada tahap terbaik, namun kajian mendapati hanya 73 peratus sahaja secara umumnya berpuas hati dengan kualiti air dibekalkan. Selebihnya, 23 peratus neutral dan 4 peratus pula tidak berpuas hati.
