Rain Water's Not Free in Malaysia

Malaysia is really doing something beyond what I could imagine nowadays. If they were moving forward, I'm alright with it. But if it was heading to nonsense, I would want the whole world to read about it as well. You judge it for yourself.

The most developed state in Malaysia, Selangor, has issued a letter to factories and golf clubs that they would have to apply for a licence for usage of rain water. Attached below is a letter from Lembaga Urus Air Selangor stating the same.

In the letter, it was stated that respective organisations that have received the letter from LUAS would have to pay up to RM0.01/cubic metre. If the rain water has dropped on these properties, was stored and used then you would be charged.

Now, a golf course has a number of lakes served as obtacles on the golf fairway. Normally, golf clubs would use those rain water that somehow poured down on the lakes to water plants in the golf course.

I have seen factories that would make several water storing tanks to store rain water that flows down on its roof. Would use it for their production purposes or maybe to wash the factories' area.

Another Guinness World of Records. What will the state of Selangor charge next? For the air we breathe in? For the trees/grass that grows at public area that produces oxygen? Maybe for those wild animals/insects that roam behind our garden that was referred to as our teaching object in educating our children? There must be many more up their sleeves.
