Water mining could be Perak’s newest source of revenue if the Federal Government
approves a proposal to tap underground water under the inter-state project involving water

The water is to be supplied to the Klang Valley and could _10_ between RM30 million
and RM40 million _11_ annual revenue for Perak.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli Ghazali said a site in the Batang Padang district
had _12_ identified due to its proximity to Selangor and the quality of underground water.
"The company has done a preliminary study of the underground water and it has been
found to be of good quality, untainted and with _13_ high calcium and mineral content," he
said. "It will therefore cost less to treat the water _14_ it is supplied to the people."
Tajol said the State Government would also look into water mining in Perak. "We
want to ensure this will not cause an imbalance in the State’s water resources, which could

Section C

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
2 After breakfast, they had to leave their temporary haven of peace and 5
quiet. A short and uneventful ride through the still quiet narrow streets
brought them to a small jetty where their boat was waiting. Everyone felt
sad having to leave so soon.
3 The boat was an old ‘perahu’, its flaking red paint badly in need of a new
coat. Quite high and narrow at the prow, it swept down to a low and fairly 10
wide stern which looked to be barely out of the water. It was heavily
laden with sacks of rice.
5 Uncle Daud laughed. “Of course it is, but just be sure to keep your hands
out of the water – crocodiles, you know.” 15
7 Both Uncle Daud and Father laughed together that time. Father
answered, “Don’t worry, there’ll be no crocodiles to trouble us today! I
promise!” 20
9 They were only passengers and a little makeshift sun-cover had been
rigged in the mid-section of the boat where they were to sit. It looked like
a small tent without sides, its bright blue and white stripes a sharp
contrast to the rest of the boat. It looked quite cheerful. 25
10 Uncle Daud began talking to the empty boat and it was a few moments
before Ali realised that Uncle Daud had not gone crazy but he was
talking to a little wizened old man who was sitting between two sacks of
rice in the rear of the boat. Ali thought he looked very old indeed. He had
a little short grey hair near his temples and stubby grey whiskers on his 30
chin. His eyes seemed to be almost closed as if he was sleeping and he
answered their uncle with only a slight nod or shake of his head. Uncle
Daud appeared very satisfied with this one-sided conversation.
11 “This is Haji Tuah. He is the best boatman on this part of the river. He’ll
take you as far as the government lodge today. It’ll take you about seven 35
hours. He knows the caretaker, so you can stay there tonight and
tomorrow go on to your Father’s old village.”

12 They quickly said their fond goodbyes. They got into the boat, its noisy
engine already moving them slowly out into the current. They all waved
until the round figure of Uncle Daud disappeared as the boat rounded a 40
bend in the river. Ali felt sad to be leaving their new-found uncle but
thoughts of the day ahead soon occupied his mind.
13 The mighty Rejang was wide and deep. Its waters, laden with silt were a
reddish-brown colour. It did not seem to be flowing quickly here and the
old noisy Mercury engine was clearly not having an easy task. The 45
mangroves made an impassable barrier which lined the river banks as
far as the eye could see. He wondered how far inland the swamps went.
14 Zamri tapped him on the shoulder. “Ali, look at this.” He was pointing at
the far bank on their left. A few poorly built timber houses were perched
precariously on stilts over the river. A couple of tiny boats were moored 50
underneath. Fishing nets were drying in the sun and a small group of
young children were calling to them and waving happily from a mud bank
near the houses.

33 Read the extract from the short story ‘The Drover’s Wife’ below and answer the following
questions.
It is near sunset, and the thunderstorm is coming. The children must be brought
inside. She will not take them into the house, for she knows the snake is there and may, at
any moment, come up through the cracks in the rough, slap floor; so she carries several
armfuls of firewood into the kitchen, and then takes the children there. The kitchen has no
floor, or, rather, an earthen one – called a “ground floor” in the centre of the place. She
brings the children in and makes them get on this table. They are two boys and two girls –
mere babies. She gives them some supper and then, before it gets dark, she goes into the
house and snatches up some pillows and bedclothes – expecting to see or lay her hand on
the snake at any minute. She makes a bed on the kitchen table for the children, and sits
down beside it to watch all night.
She has an eye on the corner and a green sapling club laid in readiness on the
dresser by her side; also her sewing basket and a copy of The Young Ladies’ Journal. She
has brought the dog into the room.
Tommy turns in under protest, but says he’ll lie awake all night and smash that
snake; under the bed-clothes.
