Declining to confirm the authenticity of the circular, AKSB senior manager Nazmi Ghazali Azmi instead said the sharing of confidential documents was an offence, Harian Metro reported.
“Sharing confidential documents is an offence under the Official Secrets Act. I request for the document to be deleted,” he was quoted as saying.
A copy of the purported circular on the bonus for AKSB staff went viral yesterday. According to the circular, AKSB’s directors received a RM10,000 bonus while the staff received RM200 each.
Earlier, Kelantan PKR council member Dr Rosli Allani Abdul Kadir reportedly said the state government must explain the rationale for the bonus and whether it commensurate with the water company’s performance.
Rosli said if the circular was genuine, it meant that the state had not taken any steps to improve AKSB’s services.
The supply of clean water continues to be a problem in Kelantan, with the state government citing a lack of federal allocations as the main reason for its water woes.
Natural resources, environment and climate change minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad, however, said the main issue was alleged mismanagement in AKSB.
