PETALING JAYA: Preacher and philanthropist Ebit Lew has mobilized to help residents affected by yesterday’s water cuts in Selangor by purchasing two large tanker trucks.
In a Facebook post, he said that the water from the two tanker trucks had been distributed to residents on the margins of the Batu Caves from 10 p.m. yesterday.
Lew said many people had been asking for help, adding that clinics and dialysis centers in particular were the ones that needed water the most.
“When I saw that my house did not have water, I quickly went out to buy mineral water for the children. I thought to myself, what about the others?
“I saw people queuing (to collect water). The saddest thing to see were the old uncles and aunts (lining up to collect water). I asked my assistant to help carry water for some of them, ”he said.
A total of 1,196,457 Air Selangor user accounts involving 1,292 areas in the Klang Valley experienced unscheduled interruptions in water supply yesterday after four Sungai Selangor water treatment plants were shut down due to pollution from raw water sources.
Air Selangor said the water supply would resume this morning and be fully restored in stages by Friday.
