Poll: Should Malaysia experience water rationing?

However, the supply of water should not be a problem for a country like Malaysia which rains almost every other day.

Association of Water and Energy Research Malaysia (AWER) president S. Piarapakaran when asked to comment on the matter said that the state government's lack of planning when it comes to water management has led to the current problem faced by the country.

"Even during the early civilisation days where there is no technology, people know when a drought and dry season is coming and they build dams to counter it.

"If they can do it at that time, failing to do so now when the technology is so advanced is quite shameful," he added
