Penang Deputy CM Jagdeep Singh Deo Removed from PBA Holdings Board Due to Excessive Absence
In a surprise move, Penang Deputy Chief Minister II Jagdeep Singh Deo has been stripped of his non-executive director position at PBA Holdings Bhd (PBAHB), the parent company of the state's water treatment and supply services provider, Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang Sdn Bhd (PBAPP). The decision comes after Jagdeep failed to attend a certain number of board meetings, thus breaching the company's rules. This development is likely to have significant implications for the state's water management and treatment services, which are crucial for the local community. As a key player in the state's administration, Jagdeep's removal may raise questions about the future of Penang's water supply and treatment infrastructure. With the increasing importance of water conservation and management, the state's water services are expected to be under scrutiny. Key terms such as water treatment, supply services, and water management are likely to be closely watched in the coming days. The Penang state government will need to address the issue promptly to ensure the continued provision of clean and safe water to its residents.
