Are North Korean Men Really Forced To Get Kim Jong-Un's Signature Hairdo?

From BBC to TIME, a number of news outlets have picked up hair raising headlines from North Korea: "Male students of the Hermit Kingdom are being forced to get 'Kim Jong-Un-style' haircuts"

Basically every viral-minded news website on the planet is running a story today about how North Korea is requiring men to get their hair cut like Kim Jong-un.

        slate.com

The story goes that male citizens in North Korean capital Pyongyong have had new guidelines to replicate Kim's distinctive haircut for the past couple of weeks, and the plan is to go national with the guidelines.

As you can probably understand, not everyone is happy with the news. "It doesn’t always go with everyone since everyone has different face and head shapes,” one source was reported as saying.

        slate.com

It's a crazy story, but where did it come from? And should we believe it? Well, let's first consider the source.

For example, the BBC picked up the story on its News from Elsewhere blog, sourcing much of the story to the Korea Times, an English-language paper published by the Hankook Ilbo group.

        washingtonpost.com

According to BBC, Male university students in North Korea are now required to get the same haircut as their leader Kim Jong-un.

The Korea Times, meanwhile, appears to have gotten the story from Radio Free Asia, a non-profit funded in part by the United States government.

        slate.com

Like most news out of North Korea, it should be treated with some skepticism and is already being picked apart to some extent

Experts on the region have already cast their doubts on the verity of the news. "This sounds like BS to me," said Aidan Foster Carter, an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in Sociology & Modern Korea at Leeds University in Britain told the Washington Post. "For a start, no one else in North Korea seems to sport a Kim Jong Un hairdo!"

        independent.co.uk

"I think we can add this to the long list of ridiculous news stories on North Korea," said Andray Abrahamian, Executive Director of Choson Exchange, a Singaporean non-profit providing training in business, economic policy and law to young North Koreans. "Everybody had typical haircuts there last week when we were there for a Women in Business program."

Chad O'Carroll, editor of the North Korean-watching website NKNews was also skeptical, forwarding a message from a reader of his Web site who had recently been in Pyongyang and had not seen Kim's haircut replicated anywhere. NK News has now written an article that argues the hairstyle order is "unlikely true," citing numerous sources.

        nknews.org

This is not to say that the North Korean government hasn’t been unusually preoccupied with the hair of its citizens

As far back as 2005, the country’s state-run media launched a campaign titled “Let us trim our hair in accordance with Socialist lifestyle,” which apparently argued that long hair "consumes a great deal of nutrition" and could hinder intellectual development.

        huffingtonpost.com

In 2008 the Japanese newspaper Mainichi Shimbun, citing some dubious sources, reported that while watching a university soccer match, the late Kim Jong-il became quite perturbed.
According to an insider, after realizing that several of the Kim Il-sung University players were sporting long hair, Kim declared it to "look disgusting," and said "I can't tell if this is men's soccer or women's soccer."

        nknews.org

The article claimed that shortly after the game, notices were placed in workplaces across the country banning long hair. Then last year it was reported that the country had released a list of 28 approved hairstyles—18 for women and 10 for men.

        slate.com

Oddly enough, the list falls short of including its young leader Kim Jong Un’s current look — a variation on the high-and-tight that may be too much of a power ‘do for North Korea’s non-elite.

        time.com

But whether or not there has been a haircut decree, Kim Jong-Un's style is probably more important than you might think

"Kim Jong Un's haircut is a very particular one, shaved up the sides to make him look like Kim Il Sung did when he was in his 30s (i.e., in the late 1940s)," Bruce Cumings, an expert in Korean history from the University of Chicago, wrote in an e-mail.

        washingtonpost.com

"This occurred right after Kim Jong Il died, Kim Jong Un was sporting this cut in January 2012 and it was clearly meant to identify him with his grandfather, not his father."

        huffingtonpost.com

The truth is the diversity of hairstyles tolerated in North Korea is probably greater than we might expect, especially for women. For men, the relative uniformity of hairstyles appears to be something else: A trend.

"If many young men are shaving their sideburns to look like Kim Jong Un, it is probably an attempt to show how loyal they are to the leadership," Cumings reasons. "This is a longstanding, critical aspect of North Korean politics, that people strain in every way to show their loyalty, often taking things to absurd lengths (like dropping their voices when they mention the great leader). Common sense will tell anyone that trying to out-loyal the next guy leads to absurdity, but that hasn't dawned on many Koreans in the North."

        washingtonpost.com

Image via dailymail.co.uk

Adam Cathcart, a Lecturer in Chinese History at University of Leeds who is also editor of the SinoNK Web site, agrees with this theory. "Haircuts are somewhat generational. To my knowledge, there was no 'decree' about getting hair cut significantly shorter just above the ears than had previously been the norms, but more and more young non-military men seemed to do it, and after [Kim's uncle Jang Sung Taek-taek]'s execution there has appeared to be more such haircuts of such styled people shown on state media, at any rate," Cathcart said.

        independent.co.uk

"But no one has 'the' haircut except for Kim Jong Un, since it's getting higher and higher and is practically a mohawk [now]." "Don't mistake a decree for a trend!" Cathcart added.

Prisons Department Claims The Death Of 35-Year-Old Mugilarasu Was Caused By A Heart Attack

35-year-old V. Mugilarasu, who died at the Sungai Buloh Prison on 2 July, suffered a heart attack, according to the Prisons Department

"The post-mortem results showed a heart attack," a Prisons Department spokesperson was quoted as saying in a Malaysiakini report by Faisal Asyraf published earlier Sunday, 5 July.Mugilarasu is said to have collapsed in his prison cell after complaining of chest pains at around 6pm on Thursday, 2 July. We are not sure whether he died inside the prison or while being transported to the Sungai Buloh Hospital as reports from two different local media outlets offered conflicting details.His family said that they were only notified at 11pm, some five hours later.While the cops have been accused of hiding the death as they have not notified the Selangor state coroner by 8pm on 3 July — a gap of over 24 hours, Mugilarasu's family suspects foul play in his death as they claim to have had a phone conversation with the victim a few hours prior to he was said to have collapsed.

According to the victim's family, his body at the mortuary had bruises on the face, bloodstains in the mouth, and swellings on the arms

Meanwhile, Mugilarasu's brother Karunakaran, who claims to have had a phone conversation with him a few hours prior to he was said to have collapsed, said that during their call he did not mention being unwell.Two lawyers A. Sheelan and John Das, who are representing the victim's family, said the family suspects foul play because of the injuries they allegedly found on Mugilarasu's body and the time discrepancy between his death and the time they were informed of it by the authorities."My client did not suffer from medical problems or chronic diseases," Sheelan said.According to Sheelan, he met with the pathologist performing the post-mortem and pointed out the injuries on his client's body, to which the pathologist also concurred on the swellings on the body.

"My skin condition was a combination of oily and dry and my daily face wash routine consists of cleanser, toner, pimple gel, and hydration spray. I do not wear any make up and I'm not on  any skin medication. Before I started my BiO-LiFE Clearance regiment, I faced skin problems like acnes on both sides of my cheeks and forehead, blemishes on random parts of the face, blackheads on my nose, and my face was very oily. But after 2 weeks of my regiment, I noticed a drastic improvement on my skin and a decrease in acne breakouts. Also, my skin wasn't as oily as before.

From Airstrikes To Bombing Campaign, How The US Plans To "Degrade And Destroy" ISIS

On the eve of the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, Obama authorised airstrikes inside Syria for the first time, as well as an expansion of strikes in Iraq to "degrade and ultimately destroy" ISIS militants in two volatile Middle East nations

President Barack Obama walks past a portrait of former President Jimmy Carter, right, in the Cross Hall of the White House in Washington before addressing the nation, Wednesday, 10 September 2014
Image via washtimes.com

The decisions considerably deepen U.S. military involvement in the Middle East. They also mark an acknowledgment by Mr. Obama that the intensity of the threat from the militant group Islamic State requires the type of long-term, open-ended conflict he has resisted since taking office—and which he campaigned for the White House saying he would avoid.

        wsj.com

In asking Americans to support another military incursion in the Middle East, Obama said his strategy to combat Islamic State would be bolstered by a coalition of Arab and European nations

His plan builds on his authorization in August of airstrikes in Iraq to protect American personnel threatened by Islamic State and to provide humanitarian assistance to besieged Iraqis. Mr. Obama said the U.S. goal now is to help Iraqis reclaim large swaths of territory the group has rapidly overtaken in recent months since spilling over from its stronghold in neighboring Syria. His speech paves the way for the first U.S. strikes at the group's bases and havens in Syria.

        indiatimes.com

In his nationally televised speech, the 44th President of the US said that anyone who threatened America will "find no safe haven"

"America will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat," Mr. Obama said in remarks from the White House. "I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL in Syria, as well as Iraq. This is a core principle of my presidency: If you threaten America, you will find no safe haven."

        wsj.com

He also announced that 475 US military personnel would be sent to Iraq but said they would not have a combat role. In a 15-minute speech shown at peak time in the US, President Obama vowed that America would lead "a broad coalition to roll back" IS. "Working with the Iraqi government, we will expand our efforts beyond protecting our own people and humanitarian missions, so that we're hitting Isil [Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant - the previous name for IS] targets as Iraqi forces go on the offense" he said.

        bbc.com

In addition to launching airstrikes against the Islamic State militants in Syria, Obama pledged a new dose of support for moderate Syrian fighters also battling the extremist group

Taken together, the steps draw the U.S. closer toward the volatile Syrian civil war and open a new front for American efforts in the region. Saudi Arabia has offered to host a U.S.-run training facility for moderate Syrian rebels, U.S. and Arab officials said. The facility is expected to be able to handle as many as 10,000 fighters, but details are still being worked out, the officials said.

Obama, whose middle name Hussein is derived from his Kenyan father, took pains to tell the Islamic world that the US was NOT against Islam and did not consider ISIS to represent Islam

President Barack Obama addresses the nation from the Cross Hall in the White House
Image via bloomberg.com

"ISIS is not 'Islamic'. No religion condones the killing of innocents. And the vast majority of ISIS's victims have been Muslim. And ISIS is certainly not a state. It was formerly al-Qaida's affiliate in Iraq. It is recognized by no government, nor by the people it subjugates. ISIS is a terrorist organization, pure and simple," the US President said.

        indiatimes.com

While Obama said that he has "the authority to address the threat from ISIS", he didn't elaborate on his claim of authority, as factually noted by Calvin Woodward for AP,  to conduct a potentially years long campaign against the Islamic State group without new congressional approval

In a major reversal, Obama ordered the United States into a broad military campaign to “degrade and ultimately destroy” militants in two volatile Middle East nations, authorizing airstrikes inside Syria for the first time, as well as an expansion of strikes in Iraq.
Image via ap.org

But administration officials briefing reporters before the speech said it is grounded in two authorizations passed by Congress, in 2001 and 2002. Obama himself criticized the 2001 authorization in the past and his administration called the 2002 resolution outdated. But now, both are being cited to support his action in Iraq and Syria.

The 2001 authorization supported President George W. Bush's war against al-Qaida and the then-Taliban government of Afghanistan. In a May 2013 speech, Obama said he wanted to "refine and ultimately repeal" it because "we may be drawn into more wars we don't need to fight." The Islamic State group was once tied to al-Qaida but has broken those links and now considers it a rival. The 2002 authorization supported the invasion of Iraq. Last year, Obama's national security adviser, Susan Rice, asked House Speaker John Boehner to repeal it, calling it "outdated."

        ap.org

In short, it's in dispute whether Obama has the authority he claims. The ability of presidents to launch sustained military action on their own is questioned whenever it happens, but it tends not to stay their hand. The administration does acknowledge it needs approval from Congress to conduct one part of its strategy — training and equipping Syrian opposition forces.

        ap.org

President Obama also gave no timetable for the new, US-led fight against what he described as "a terrorist organization" with members "unique in their brutality"

No set timeline for when the mission will be completed. But it won't happen overnight. Officials have said it could take a number of years to roll back the Islamic State organization, potentially extending the mission beyond the end of Obama's presidency in early 2017.

[VIDEO] CNN Asks Anwar About Capt Zaharie, Transparency And Controlled Media In Malaysia

Christiane Amanpour started the segment by describing the Malaysian government as "flying blind" in the MH370 investigation

One of the biggest conspiracy theories that has emerged links MH370 pilot Captain Zaharie to Anwar Ibrahim. Amanpour directs these allegations to the Opposition Leader who was recently sentenced to five years imprisonment for sodomy.

Anwar, who has been the target of ongoing attacks from the ruling government, constitutes the main Malaysian opposition.

        cnn.com

Amanpour says according to Anwar's press secretary, Captain Zaharie is his "son's wife's mother's father's brother's son"

Some have tried to tie Zaharie to Anwar as a family relation. Anwar's press secretary told CNN that Zaharie is the opposition leader's - wait for it - son's wife's mother's father's brother's son.

        cnn.com

Anwar admits that Captain Zaharie is loosely related to his daughter-in-law, yet Anwar knows Captain Zaharie as a party activist and not a family member

"What my daughter-in-law told me is that he is a family member, not too close, but she calls him 'uncle,' which is quite common here," Anwar said. "But I know him... basically as a party activist."

        cnn.com

"I don't see him to be in any way controversial, or taking any radical stance. I have a great difficulty in understanding why they are casting aspersions on him because I am known to him."

There have been reports in Malaysian media that just hours before the plane took off on March 8, Shah attended a hearing for Anwar, who was sentenced to five years in jail after a court overturned his 2012 acquittal on a sodomy charge.

        cnn.com

Amanpour, "Do you think he is a fanatic?" Anwar explains that Captain Zaharie is against any form of extremism.

"He supports our multi-racial coalition. He supports democratic reform. He is against any form of extremism," Anwar said of Zaharie, whom he said he has met "on a number of occasions." "And we take a very strong position in clamoring for change through constitutional and democratic means."

        cnn.com

There are allegations saying Captain Zaharie hijacked MH370 as a response to Anwar's sedition sentencing after attending the court proceeding. However, Anwar says Captain Zaharie was not in court that day.

There have been reports in Malaysian media that just hours before the plane took off on March 8, Shah attended a hearing for Anwar, who was sentenced to five years in jail after a court overturned his 2012 acquittal on a sodomy charge.

        cnn.com

"He was not in the court," Anwar said. "He may have been outside in the premises of the court, because the court has a limited capacity. But from what I gather, from many of our colleagues, nobody actually saw him in the premises of the court."

        cnn.com

Anwar says Captain Zaharie may have been disturbed by the sedition charge, but many others were also disturbed. Anwar is certain it was not something that would trigger Captain Zaharie to do any unwanted activity.

"I gathered later from many of his colleagues and from what is written about him that he was disturbed - many others were disturbed. I mean, we were shocked and appalled by the speed of the process of the court of appeal." "But I think that's quite normal. I don't think it's something that would trigger a person of his expertise, caliber, to do any unwanted activity. I am absolutely certain of that."

        cnn.com

Amanpour then asked Anwar to describe the Malaysian government's handling of the MH370 investigation and communication. Anwar revealed information about the Radar Macorni system in the Northern corridor as it was procured during his term as Finance Minister.

"When they procured that Radar Marconi system in that Northern corridor, I happened to be the finance minister," he told Amanpour. "They had the capability to detect any flight from the west - or from the east to the west coast, from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean."

        cnn.com

"I find it shocking that (the government officials) are not able, that they were not able, or they give some very scanty sort of information."

        cnn.com

"The problem is credibility of the leadership. They are culpable because there is a general perception that they are not opening up, that there is an opaque system at work."

        cnn.com

Touching on transparency, Amanpour asked "Is there a culture in the government that is not used to giving out these kind of facts?"

Anwar: "I appreciate the argument of national security if the information is something that would threaten the survival of our nation. But in this case it is just to detect an unauthorised flight flying from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean passing through a few of our provinces. And I can't find any explanation to support the case of why was this not detected. If it was detected why were people not told? And why have you allowed for millions of dollars spent in search and rescue in the South China Sea knowing very well that the plane have left towards the Indian Ocean? This is not national security, this is purely incompetence."

        cnn.com

According to Anwar, the government have been so used to a compliant controlled media that they have troubles confronting an independent free media.

Anwar: "The problem is the issue of governance. The Malaysian authorities and leadership were only used to a compliant government-controlled media where people just say yes to whatever they say. Now they have to confront an independent free media. Then nobody question whatever the chief of the air force or the chief of the army whenever they issue a statement. Now, people are saying look, there are many experts disputing some of their arguments. This is 2014, you can't govern in obsolete ways."

        cnn.com

Amanpour had interviewed Prime Minister Najib in October 2013. Anwar was asked to comment on Najib's claim that he had abolished the Internal Security Act, the Emergency Rule, and allowed for Peaceful Assembly.

Anwar's reaction upon listening to Najib's statement
Image via CNN

Anwar: "Impressive pronouncements but the Internal Security Act was replaced by SOSMA (Security Offences). Party leaders, opposition, are still being arrested and charged for sedition. One leading member of the opposition was fined and thrown out of the parliament because of sedition. There is of course my case where they rushed through the court process in one hour to decide on a very important case.
Many other members of the parliament are now waiting for their turn. Media is completely under the control of the govt. If you talk and mention transformation, impressive pronouncements but hardly any action."

Passport Renewal Nightmare: Hundreds of Msians Wait Up To 4 Hours In 400-Metre Queue In JB

Subscribe to our Telegram channel for our latest stories and breaking news.

Passport applicants in Johor faced long queues and an even longer waiting time early yesterday morning, 23 May, at the Ministry of Home Affairs complex in Setia Tropika, Johor Bahru

As international borders have reopened and the June holidays are coming up, many wish to renew their passports.To avoid the crowds and long wait, they arrived early to get it done. However, many had the same mindset, causing a long queue to be formed outside the entrance of the complex.Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi shared photos of the long queue and people waiting at 7.10am in a Facebook post.The photos showed people queuing at the curb and some who were sitting down outside the complex.

Nur Hazwan Sharifulazman, a 37-year-old working in Singapore, who waited in line mentioned that when he arrived at 7.50am, the queue was 400m long from the complex entrance

He was at the immigration office to inquire about his passport, which had already been renewed online, reported Bernama.Hazwan said that people had to get a number at the entrance before they were allowed to enter the complex.They then had to take another queue number at the relevant counter."Around 8am, an immigration officer began handing out queue numbers and I was lucky enough to get the number," he related.However, Hazwan had to wait four hours, from 8am to 12pm, to enter the building and get another queue number before entering the immigration office.He said that the relevant parties involved should improve the queue management as those waiting in line involved senior citizens and parents with small children.

31-year-old Nasiruddin Md Nazim, who is also working in Singapore, was another in line to renew his passport.He skipped breakfast to get there early, but thankfully, a ood Samaritan offered him bread and a drink."Although the process to renew the passport was done online, we have to collect the passport at the counter," he said. He was in the queue to seek information on whether his passport was ready as there was no confirmation from the immigration office, reported Bernama.

Image via Bernama

Onn Hafiz mentioned that the issue has existed since 1 May following the reopening of international borders on 1 April

Onn Hafiz added that before reopening the borders, an average of 700 international passports were issued per day. The number increased to 1,000 and 1,800 in April and May, respectively.Nine other passport offices in the state, including the Mersing office which only had two to three counters, were affected, he said.Meanwhile, State Immigration Department director Baharuddin Tahir said those waiting in line were comprised of people who wished to renew their passport while others had matters to tend to in another department housed in the same complex.

This issue was brought to the Menteri Besar, prompting his team to improve the passport renewal process."The Menteri Besar agreed to help by setting up tents and providing chairs and fans for people waiting," said Baharuddin.

SYABAS, Why Are There So Many Water Disruptions In Selangor And KL?

A major contamination of the Sungai Semenyih water treatment plant has left more than 300,000 residents in parts of Hulu Langat, Kuala Langat, Petaling and Sepang area without water for more than five days now

The Sungai Semenyih Water Treatment Plant was shut down on 22 September after authorities detected raw water pollution in the plant. The shutdown disrupted the water supply to multiple households in the Petaling, Hulu Langat, Sepang and Kuala Langat areas, affecting some 337,000 consumers. The Air Selangor and Lembaga Urus Air Selangor (LUAS) river surveillance team and the Department of Environment has been running investigations and tests to determine the cause of the contamination to best treat the water before resuming supply to affected households. According to a report by the The Sun Daily on Sunday, 25 September, Selangor state executive councilor for Tourism, Environment, Green Technology and Consumer Affairs Elizabeth Wong said that the pollution affected about 609km² of the Semenyih lower catchment area and five major rivers. While explaining that the initial test results revealed that there were no hazardous substances in the water, Wong assured that LUAS is yet to find the cause of the contamination that caused the distinct smell in the raw water.

The Sungai Semenyih treatment plant has since been decontaminated and resumed operations at about 2.30pm on Saturday, 24 September

A media statement by SYABAS at about 1pm today, 27 September informed that water supply restoration status for the affected areas are as follows: Petaling: 89% Hulu Langat: 93%Sepang: 99.7%Kuala Langat: 100%The statement also explained that SYABAS will be deploying water tanks to areas that have yet to receive their water supply. The Head of Corporate Communications for Air Selangor Group, Amin Lin said in a statement yesterday, 26 September, that full restoration of water supplies to all affected areas is expected to be by 1am on Wednesday, 28 September.

The unexpected water disruption caused quite the chaos on social media, with countless consumers from the affected areas complaining about SYABAS' lack of efficiency and stressing on the seriousness of the issue

Some even said that SYABAS needs to change its name as the organisation "doesn't deserve" to be called as one

Image via Facebook/ Hannah Yeoh

SYABAS stands for Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor and the acronym means 'well done' when directly translated from Bahasa Malaysia to English.

A USJ resident that we spoke to explained how the whole ordeal began on 20 September.
According to Kevin, the water supply was first cut off on the 20th due to a pipe burst incident at Jalan Klang.

"Water supply resumed the next day, on 21 September but it was only about 0.2 bar and on the 22nd the water supply was cut off again without any prior notice. We only found out much later that it was due to the contamination of the Semenyih river.""No information was given on when the water supply will resume or if water tankers will be dispatched to the affected areas," explained Kevin. On 23 September, residents were told that the water treatment center has resumed operations but they ended up shutting it down again on 24 September due to more contamination. Kevin lamented that SYABAS did not specify where the water tankers will be dispatched to, adding that the authorities only mentioned that it'll be sent to "critical areas".

Making matters worse, Kevin said that SYABAS was not very responsive throughout the water disruption period.
"Residents were of course very disappointed in how SYABAS handled the matter, especially the lack of information provided in their updates."

Residents waiting to collect water in the USJ area on 24 September.

"If we get notice earlier, at least we can store some water for emergency use," added Kevin. He also mentioned that all efforts to get in touch with the SYABAS' customer service for the past week was to no avail as no one had apparently answered any of the calls he made to the water board. When asked on the frequency of water problems in his area, Kevin said that there is at least one case of "pipe burst" in his area that leads to water disruption, almost every single month.

How bad is the water disruption situation in Klang Valley?

After speaking to Kevin, we did a little research and found out that both scheduled and unscheduled water disruptions are very common in certain parts of the state

Based on SYABAS' scheduled water disruption schedule, places in Hulu Langat, Sabak Bernam, and Kuala Langat have water disruptions more often that any other part of the state. Here's the scheduled water disruption details or Klang Valley for four  months, from June till September:

The reasons given for the scheduled water disruptions are usually for 'air scouring' which is basically the process of cleaning the water by removing sediment, thus improving water quality

As for unscheduled water disruption, the reason is almost always related to "pipe burst" incidents

Although the pipe burst incidents happen in different areas, a quick glance at SYABAS' Twitter timeline would tell you that pipes burst in Sabak Bernam, Hulu Langat and Kuala Langat more often that at any other parts of the state.

So, why do pipes burst so often in these places?

We got in touch with SYABAS through their official Facebook account, PUSPEL to seek further clarification on this problem that causes a great deal of inconvenience for local households. When asked on why pipe burst occurrences have become so common in Klang Valley and what are some of the steps taken by SYABAS to ensure that this does not happen all the time, SYABAS responded by saying:

Efforts to contact SYABAS's customer service for answers regarding this matter failed too.

What can be done to prevent water disruption from happening so often? How can it be handled better in the event that the disruptions can't be avoided?

Earlier this month, on 2 September, Speaker of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly, Hannah Yeoh wrote an article which was published on Malaysiakini about six things that SYABAS can do to improve their overall service. According to Yeoh, here's what SYABAS should do to better address the ongoing water disruption problems:1) "Have a more effective PR team to manage complaints. Many residents face difficulty in getting through to PUSPEL Contact Centre. Unattended calls resulted in frustration, uncertainty and water tankers not being dispatched."2) "Social media channel for PUSPEL such as Twitter should be unlocked to promote greater dissemination of information. Tweets on water disruption are not allowed to be retweeted."3) "The current mode of disseminating information via SMS should be done for all affected SYABAS customers and not just selected residents’ representatives. After all, SYABAS should be in possession of their customers’ contact details and this will also reach the non-online users."4) "A more accurate recovery time to be given in each status update."5) "Clarity of schedule for water tankers making it convenient for residents to draw water."6) "A detailed investigation and post-mortem to be conducted for each major water disruption and such findings should be made public with concrete action plan to avoid the same situation from recurring."

Meanwhile, state assemblyperson of Damansara Utama, Yeo Bee Yin released a statement highlighting the efforts of the Selangor government to improve the local water infrastructure:

1) Projek Mitagasi 2 - Total cost: RM 215 million - Completed recently and increased Selangor water supply to Petaling district by 235 MLD.2) Projek Mitigasi 3 - Total Cost: RM 43 million - To upgrade Langat WTP to increase water supply to Hulu Langat district - Project started and estimated completion in early 2017.3) Construction of Semenyih 2 WTP - Allocated Budget: RM 150 million - Started construction and estimated completion in 2018.  4) Construction of Labohan Dagang WTP - Allocated Budget: RM 500 million - Started construction and estimated completion in 2018.  5) Pipe replacement for 23 pipe burst hotspots - Allocated Budget: RM133 million. - In tendering process and estimated completion of all the 23 hotspots in 2018.

Living without water for even a day is really troublesome. However, these Malaysians living in rural parts of the country have spent most of their lives without running water supply:
