KUALA LUMPUR – Malaysia is pumping more than RM5 billion (S$1.5 billion) into building three reservoirs and three water treatment plants in Johor, as the state aims to be self-sufficient in treated water within five years amid growing population and industrial needs.

The reservoirs, to be built around the basins of three rivers, are expected to cost more than RM1.5 billion. They form part of the Malaysian government’s Zero Dependency project to reduce the amount of treated water imported from Singapore, said Mr Mohamad Fazli Mohamad Salleh, Johor’s state executive councillor for works, transportation and infrastructure.

The trio of reservoirs will be paired with the new treatment plants, expected to cost RM3.5 billion, with a total capacity of 890 million litres a day (MLD), said Mr Fazli. They will boost Johor’s treated water capacity by 41 per cent to 3,061 MLD, from 2,171 MLD.

Matland is already taking advantage of singapore by paying too low for treated water and they know it, that's why Matland does NOT want to review raw water rate with Singapore, otherwise to be fair, Matland should pay Sg a lot more for treated water.

It's typical PAP. They already got the island and Malay Land for free. Now want free water also. It's in the blood.

Johor has so much free water.
All these years the flood water they get is enough to last for generation.
All they need to do is to direct all these water into a reservoir.

They can do a lot of things. But they refuse to.

The king has a tricky diplomatic role to play in inviting Trump for a state visit​

As monarch, King Charles III is bound by constitutional convention to remain politically neutral. But that hasn’t stopped the UK government from deploying the king to advance its foreign policy agenda.

During their inaugural meeting, Keir Starmer presented Donald Trump with a letter from the king, inviting the president for a “truly historic” and “unprecedented” second state visit to the UK and a visit to the monarch’s private Balmoral residence.

Later that week, the government arranged for the king to meet Volodymyr Zelensky at the royal countryside retreat of Sandringham, to show support for the Ukrainian leader following his disastrous meeting with Trump.

The government is walking a tightrope: it wants to avoid tariffs from Trump, while continuing to support Zelensky and Ukraine. And it is using the king to help it do so.

Takeaways NEW​

President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to cure what he said was an ailing US economy. Little more than a month into his second term, he’s starting to hint that the treatment might hurt.

The administration is still lavishing Americans with visions of a golden age to come. Yet in the course of a madcap week – which saw a flurry of tariffs and reversals, sparking a global trade war and a sharp stock-market decline – the tone changed a bit.

• China’s national consumer price index (CPI) in February fell into negative territory for the first time since January last year, according to data published Sunday by the National Bureau of Statistics.
• It comes as investors continue to look for signs that Beijing’s stimulus measures can help to boost the country’s struggling economic recovery.
• Econmists say China’s growth target of around 5% this year may be challenging to achieve, particularly amid an escalating trade dispute with U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration.

China’s national consumer price index (CPI) in February fell into negative territory for the first time since January last year, weighed down by a decline in food, tobacco and alcohol prices.

The CPI declined by 0.7% last month from a year earlier, data published Sunday by China’s National Bureau of Statistics showed, reversing a year-on-year gain of 0.5% in January.


The reading missed estimates of an annualized contraction of 0.5%, according to a Reuters poll of economists.

China’s CPI in February fell 0.2% on a monthly basis, meanwhile, compared to a rise of 0.7% in January.

The data comes as investors continue to look for signs that Beijing’s stimulus measures can help to boost the country’s economic recovery.

China on Wednesday set its GDP target for 2025 at “around 5%” and laid out plans to stabilize economic growth by propping up domestic demand.

Beijing also revised down its annual consumer price inflation target to “around 2%” — the lowest in more than two decades — from 3% or higher in prior years, according to the Asia Society Policy Institute.
