The Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said a new by-law will be formulated by the Ministry of Housing and Local Government to mandate that certain large buildings, such as factories and institutions of higher learning, will have to install "rainwater harvesting" systems to collect rainwater. This water will be used for things like washing the car, watering plants, flush toilets, etc. as long the water is not used for consumption or bathing.
He also mentioned that low cost houses and other smaller buildings will not be required to do so, leaving a big question mark... what about larger houses? Shop lots? That's right, keep guessing (and don't forget to save money to pay for the system) and see how many you have got right when the ruling is finalised.
