Privatized water -- whose idea?

One of the mysteries of modern life is this question: why is water the very basic necessity of life privatized?

Another is privatized health care. Those who cannot pay will be left to suffer.

Where did we get these ideas?

We must revolt against all these.

Sir,
From my understanding of our Perlembagaan and the rights of citizen. We should have a basic necessity such as electricity, health, education, water provided by the govt with with minimum cost (should not be privatized) due to the govt responsibilities to us. Furthermore, I believe that the only state govt should manage their resources including land and water as they are the rightful authority with assistance of federal (in terms of funding but no authority to take over)to operates and provide at minimum cost to the people. But what happened now is bullshit. Look what happening at Telekom, TNB, Water Concession or in future might be the health sector such as IJN etc. Are the privatisation can reduce and minimize the costs, caring of social welfare? no. Are they really can improve the services quality? maybe, but for sure they are gaining towards profit. With monopoly of the idustry above with no competition. The peoples have no other choice! but to consume it for a better living. For whom they gaining the profit? I believes all the peoples know clearly who will benifit all this thing. Yet, the peoples still believe in them. Our govt is getting weaker, the leaders are getting greeder, corruption everywhere, no integrity, the economy getting worse with their mismanagement etc. They will never follow the constitution & laws in their politics and management unless it will benefit them. So, let us give the opportunities to the other who willing to listen to us to take care us as well in future.

You missed the fine print.

It is 'Piratised' and not Privatised. Piratised as in Toll Highway/IPP/Water/Halal Cert/PKZ P.Klang/Submarine & Jets Comm one-sided CRONY deals etc. etc etc.

Mahathir was the culprit !
The dictator cum corrupter during his rein had awarded all the lopsided "piratised"concessions/projects to his cronies and family members.
All these "piratisations" practically screwed all Malaysians for many generations.
One glaring example is the "piratisation" of toll highways which are practically 'Broad Daylight Highway Robberies".

Yes, it is "piratization". And guess what, rakyat put these LANUN in power. But fret not, rakyat can pull down these LANUN from power too.....How I wish that one day the Head Lanun will be put to trial for his 2 decades of plundering. Then all rakyat will see the man as who he really is and not the 'statesman' he wants us to believe.
