Perjumpaan PDAM bersama YB Menteri KPDNKK

Kami memberi penjelasan lebih lanjut tentang apa kemungkinan yang akan berlaku sekiranya cadangan kerajaan diteruskan. Pendirian PDAM adalah kami tidak mahu price war.

YB Menteri mengambil maklum dan akan berjumpa dengan syarikat minyak pada hari Khamis ini.

Sebelum itu, PDAM di minta berjumpa dengan pihak KPDNKK esok bagi memberikan maklumat lanjut seperti yang diminta oleh YB Menteri.

Butiran permintaan kami tak dapat kongsikan sekarang kerana ia melibatkan perbincangan antara beliau bersama syarikat minyak.

Akan tetapi YB Menteri memberi jaminan bahawa kepentingan pengusaha akan dilindungi (sebarang kenaikkan Caj atau perubahan kepada Perjanjian antara Dealers dan Syarikat Minyak perlu mendapatkan kelulusan pihak KPDNKK dahulu) dan memastikan mekanisma yang akan dilaksanakan tidak akan merugikan pengusaha.
