| Ranau has had a string of elected representatives at state and federal levels over the past 40 years but clean water has remained elusive. |
KOTA KINABALU: A Barisan Nasional MP from Sabah has joined the chorus of criticism against the state government led by Chief Minister Musa Aman for failing to provide piped water to scores of villages in the interior of the state.
Ranau MP Siringan Gubat said villagers in his constituency have been relying on dirty water for their domestic use.
Speaking after a protest last week by some 60-odd villagers, Gubat said: “The people are relying on the water supply from the state-owned agency Rural Development Corporation (KPD) which is only meant for farming. This water is not fit for human consumption.”
He said he was aware that Musa had approved the construction of a new water supply station in Kundasang during a visit to Ranau several years ago, but no work had occurred since then.Ranau MP Siringan Gubat said villagers in his constituency have been relying on dirty water for their domestic use.
Speaking after a protest last week by some 60-odd villagers, Gubat said: “The people are relying on the water supply from the state-owned agency Rural Development Corporation (KPD) which is only meant for farming. This water is not fit for human consumption.”
“I have also brought up the matter twice in Parliament and was told that the project was still in documentation stage and until today there is still no news about it,” Gubat told reporters here yesterday.
The new plant is expected to provide treated water to several thousand villagers in the district in the foothills of mountain Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia’s first World Heritage Site.
Ranau is noted for its hilly topography and is the largest producer of highland vegetables.
Tourism and highland agriculture are the major industries owing to the district’s location at 1,176 metres above sea level.
But last weekend Ranau was in the news, not for its many tourist destinations but the hardship faced by the mostly farming community due to shortage of clean water supply.
Residents from four villages staged a sit-in to highlight what they said was the state government’s “false promises” about providing them water supply, which happens during every election.
‘Impossible that leaders not aware’
For now, the people living in the villages of Kibbas, Paka Satu, Koporingan and Purak Ogis depend on rain as well as bottled water for their domestic use.
Although only the villagers from four kampungs participated in the demonstration, they represent many thousands from other villages in the district who are facing similar problem, said those familiar with the water situation there.
Villagers are enraged that after nearly 50 years since Sabah joined in forming Malaysia, the most basic needs such as clean water supply had not been provided to Ranau whose constituents have always voted consistently for state and federal government representatives.
The mountainous district, which is about 108km from here, has been represented at federal Cabinet level by Ghani Gilong and Bernard Dompok and at state level by ministers such as the late Mark Koding, Ewon Ebin and Masidi Manjun as well as assistant minister Mynoor Ginggor.
Dompok, who has since moved to the Penampang parliamentary constituency from Ranau, is still in the federal Cabinet while Ebin and Masidi are in the state Cabinet.
Villagers said it is “impossible” that their leaders are not aware of the lack of clean water supply because apart from Dompok, the other government representatives have houses in Ranau and Kibbas.
Gubat said the water problem was discussed on Aug 2 during a meeting on Ranau district water supply development and was attended by Ebin, Kundasang assemblyman Joachim Gunsalam and district officer Faimin Kamin and people development leaders from the state constituencies of Kundasang, Karanaan and Paginatan.
Local authorities claim that the water supply problems were caused by water wastage and increased demand due to population growth.
Gubat, however, said he sympathised with those affected as they had been assured of a new water plant to provide for their needs years ago.
The national 2012 Budget provides RM2.1 billion to expand water supply to 200,000 homes in the rural areas of Sabah and Sarawak, while the Sabah government has provided RM458.8 million for the same purpose this year.
Gubat, who was an assemblyman until he contested and won the Ranau MP seat in 2008, is a founder-member of United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Ogranisation (Upko).
Upko headed by Dompok recently suffered a blow when its deputy president and Tuaran MP Wilfred Mojilip Bumburing and vice-president Senator Maijol Mahap deserted the party and threw in their lot with Pakatan Rakyat ahead of the looming general election.
Hopefully the villages in the rural areas will be able to enjoy clean piped water soon.
ReplyDeleteMasa depan Malaysia lebih terjamin di bawah pemerintahan Barisan Nasional (BN) pimpinan Datuk Seri Najib Razak yang kini giat mentransformasikan negara ini menjadi sebuah negara maju menjelang 2020. Datuk Najib tidak pernah lupa akan kepentingan di Sabah juga. Beliau begitu serius untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini.
Deleteberdasarkan pengalamannya berpolitik selama lebih 50 tahun dan menempuh pelbagai cabaran dalam proses pembangunan, negara ini sudah mengalami perubahan yang ketara dari aspek pembangunan hasil usaha pemimpin negara terdahulu sehingga kini.
Ini untuk Sabah, Rakyat pernah berada dalam pemerintahan pembangkang untuk beberapa ketika seperti BERJAYA dan kita sudah merasa kesusahan apabila kita tidak ada hubungan yang baik antara kerajaan negeri dan persekutuan.
DeleteKalau tidak ada kerjasama antara negeri dan persekutuan, pelaksanaan pembangunan pun agak lembab, jadi kita tidak mahu lagi ia berulang di Sabah, kita sudah lihat bagaimana pantasnya pembangunan di Sabah di bawah BN.
Kerajaan BN Sabah di bawah pimpinan Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Musa Aman, juga meletakkan kedudukan ekonomi yang lebih kukuh. Harapan saya ialah rakyat Sabah akan terus menyokong kerajaan dan Sabah terus menjadi kubu kuat BN pada pilihan raya akan datang, sekaligus mengulangi pencapaian cemerlang dalam pilihan raya 2008.
DeleteKita perlu tahu juga yang mana bukannya mudah untuk memerintah negeri Sabah ini. Tapi kita harus memuji Datuk Musa Aman atas kejayaannya. Cara pengurusan kewangan kerajaan Sabah dan dasar perhutanan Ketua Menteri Datuk Seri Musa Aman dianggap sebagai yang terbaik di Malaysia.
DeleteDatuk Musa Aman yang mentadbir urus kerajaan negeri sejak sembilan tahun lalu, bukan sahaja dapat memastikan Sabah terus maju, tetapi juga membawa lebih kestabilan politik, kemakmuran dan pembangunan infrastruktur di negeri ini.
DeleteSabah di bawah beliaupastinya kini sedang pesat membangun. Itu semua sememangnya kita tidak dapat nafikan lagi. Bukan di Kota Kinabalu saja tapi diseluruh daerah merasainya.
Kedudukan topografi kawasan Ranau mungkin salah satu sebab mengapa sistem bekalan air bersih agak sukar disediakan/disalurkan. Ia memerlukan perancangan yang teliti supaya sistem bekalan air ini mampu tahan lama selain mengambil kira persediaan yang sesuai apabila tanah runtuh berlaku.
DeleteI think there must be some misunderstandings happened here. Musa is able to solve it for the people.
DeleteUsaha untuk menyelesaikan masalah air di Ranau memang mungkin dan akan dilaksanakan.
DeleteAs far as I concerned, the water supply is free, and the consumer awareness on the water conservation is relatively low. So I think the villagers shouldn't put their hands up so high about this. I mean look at yourself deeply, are you one of the problem makers too?
DeleteJangan risau, selagi kerajaan masih kuat, selagi itulah bantuan akan ada.
DeleteTerlalu membazir pun boleh jadi salah satu faktor yang menyebabkan bekalan air tak cukup. Jadi sebelum asyik menyalahkan pihak lain mungkin boleh mainkan peranan masing2 utk sama-sama bantu masalah ini.
DeleteMusa memang selalu menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi ramai. Jadi jangan buat spekulasi yang kurang enak.
DeleteDatuk Musa telah memberi perhidmatan yang terbaik dalam memimpin Sabah.
DeleteMusa contribute a great and positive development to Sabah economy.
DeleteKerajaan harus membaiki bekalan air di kawasan Ranau. Kemudahan asas ini harus diutamakan.
DeleteKerajaan akan memastikan pembekalan akan sentiasa mencukupi dan alam kualiti yang baik.
DeletePentadbiran Musa amat positif untuk membawa Sabah ke peringkat yang lebih berkembang.
DeleteBekalan air yang berish adalah keperluan asas yang harus sentiasa diutamakan.
DeleteKerja naik taraf juga perlukan masa. Harap rakyat sabar dan memberi kerajaan masa.
DeleteThe national 2012 Budget provides RM2.1 billion to expand water supply to 200,000 homes in the rural areas of Sabah and Sarawak, while the Sabah government has provided RM458.8 million.
ReplyDeleteProviding clean water supply should not be a problem to the State government, hopefully the government will speed up on expanding the water supply.
Apa yang ada kelebihan kepada Ketua Menteri Sabah Datuk Musa Aman ini adalah strategi Musa yang komprehensif dengan mengambil kira sumber daripada agensi negeri dan persekutuan memulakan visi beliau dengan memastikan Sabah lebih baik dan progresif.
DeleteDatuk Musa Aman telah memperkenal pelan rangka tindakan strategi pembangunan negeri yang dinamakan ‘Halatuju’, dan memberi fokus terhadap usaha agresif meraih hasil daripada potensi bidang pelancongan, pertanian dan perkilangan negeri ini. Sememangnya usaha ini akhirnya berjaya juga di Sabah.
Usaha yang berterusan dan tidak pernah lupa akan tanggungjawab membawa sabah terus kehadapan. Pelan ‘Halatuju’ inilah yang dalam tempoh beberapa tahun ini membawa perkembangan berlipat ganda pertumbuhan dalam ketiga-tiga sektor berkenaan.
DeleteKetiga-tiga aktiviti ekonomi itu menjadi kunci kepada usaha Datuk Musa meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi negeri yang memberi kebaikan kepada kehidupan rakyat.
Kita dapat lihat juga akan pertumbuhan dan sumbangan berkesan ketiga-tiga sektor itu terhadap ekonomi negeri jelas dilihat sekarang menerusi pelancongan yang menjadi industri yang kian meningkat dengan pertambahan jumlah ketibaan pelancong dan pembinaan lebih banyak hotel. Kalau kita lihat pun dengan peningkatan ini dapat juga membantu meningkatkan ekonomi Sabah dan juga pada masa yang sama dapat memberikan peluang pekerjaan kepada penduduk tempatan Sabah sendiri.
DeleteBelum lagi cerita mengenai jumlah keuntungan daripada perlancongan di Sabah ini. Sabah mencatat kemasukan pelancong berjumlah 2.84 juta orang tahun lepas, dan hasil pendapatan daripada pelancongan sebanyak RM4.98 bilion, manakala pembinaan 450 hotel pelbagai taraf di seluruh Sabah.
Seterusnya ekonomi Sabah dalam sektor pertanian pula. Keutamaan diberi terhadap usaha menjamin makanan yang mencukupi menerusi usaha pengeluaran dalam negeri selain mengurangkan pergantungan terhadap produk makanan diimport. Itu yang Datuk Musa rancang selama ini. Ini bagi memastikan barangan makanan mencukupi. Sabah memiliki kira-kira 2.5 juta hektar tanah sesuai bagi pembangunan pertanian dan sehingga ke hari ini anggaran 1.5 juta hektar telah dimajukan dengan sektor pertanian menyumbang hasil bernilai RM7.24 bilion pada 2010. Kita dapat lihat dengan usaha ini akan memberikan kebaikkan kepada diri dan ekonomi Sabah.
Deletekerajaan negeri Sabah sedang berusaha untuk melakukan yang terbaik kepada rakyat. ekonomi dan pembangunan Sabah sudah jauh berbeza berbanding dulu.
DeleteIn fact, this project is under the 10th MP so I'm sure the Federal Government is aware of it. Never simply accuse minister on this matter.
DeleteSabah is never run out of resources. Take for example, a new gen set is expected to come to Sandakan and will be completed by end of this year. It shows the government's commitment in making Sabah as one of the greatest state in the country.
DeleteIts all take time for the government to execute all the project. Please be patient waiting for them to come true.
DeleteEconomy Sabah towards a positive direction. Hope such effort will benefit the people in Sabah to enjoy better standard of living.
DeletePeruntukan dari persekutuan amat diperlukan untuk projek & pembangunan yang berterusan.
DeleteUsaha kerajaan membaiki ekonomi Sabah melalui industri pertanian, pelancongan, perikanan dll amat diperlukan.
DeleteKemudahan asas harus diutamakan agar rakyat tidak mendelita untuk menjalankan aktiviti harian.
DeleteWith Budget 2012 tabled last year by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Sarawak and Sabah is set to be the beneficiary of several initiatives for the rakyat. Formulated with the theme ‘National Transformation Policy: Welfare for the Rakyat, Well-Being of the Nation’, among such measures included funding to accelerate the development of the regional corridors including the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy (SCORE).
ReplyDelete
DeleteDuring the tabulation of the national budget at the time, the government would allocate RM978 million to accelerate the development of five regional corridors, with emphasis on the Samalaju water supply in SCORE and the palm oil cluster project in Lahad Datu in the Sabah Development Corridor. This was on the back of a total allocation of RM232.8 billion in Budget 2012 to implement all government development plans, which included projects under the Rolling Plan 2, National Key Economic Areas, National Key Results Areas, and Strategic Reform Initiatives.
From this amount, RM181.6 billion had been allocated for operating expenditure while RM51.2 billion for development expenditure. To ease inflation as well as enhance the well-being of the rakyat, Najib stressed on taking both short-term and long-term measures to resolve the issue of rising food prices. One such initiative was the allocation of RM1.1 billion in 2012 for the development of the agriculture sector, whereby main projects included irrigation projects in Sabah and Sarawak.

DeleteIn terms of strengthening the development of rural basic infrastructure in a more detailed manner, the government planned to allocate a total of RM2.1 billion to expand clean water supply to 200,000 houses as well as RM1.1 billion for electric supply to 39,000 houses in the rural areas, particularly in Sabah and Sarawak. “The government is committed to ensure the supply of clean water to the rural community particularly in the interiors of Sabah and Sarawak,” highlighted the Prime Minister.
However, the implementation of water supply reticulation projects in these areas takes time. For the time being, the government has provided an additional 20,000 water tanks costing RM52 million for rainwater harvesting, benefitting 100,000 people living in the interior of Sarawak.The government will also expand this programme to Sabah with an allocation of RM50 million.
Delete"Water Department Director Ag Mohd. Tahir Mohd Talib said the surge is not only for domestic consumption but also for the long hours of highland crop watering and assured that measures are being taken to resolve the problem." I think this is the reason why this thing happened. After all, I don't think the government is cruel enough to make such stupid mistake.
Delete"For the long-term, Mohd Tahir said a RM100 million water supply system had been planned to supply treated water to Kundasang town and its areas nearby. Allocation requests have been made under the 10th Malaysia Plan's first rolling plan (2011-2012), second rolling plan (2012-2013) and third rolling (2013-2014). "
DeleteThis is an excerpt from the department's statement. So the villagers shouldn't be worried so much.
Projek ini pasti memanfaatkan golongan ramai yang masih tidak dapat bekalan yang mencukupi dan bersih.
DeleteUPKO President Datuk Bernard Dompok gave assurance that no more members from UPKO will be leaving the party after Wilfred Bumburing and Maijol Mahap. We should just wait and see.
ReplyDeleteya, ppresiden upko sudah nyatakan, tiada lagi yang akan keluar parti lepas ini.
DeleteYes, correct. But I wonder why Lajim said that 3 MPs are going to quit and jumped to the opposition after Raya.
DeleteThere is one UPKO Tuaran leader who have quit his post and came back to the party soon after that. This means that the government is giving him hope.
DeleteJadi ini bermakna bahawa kerajaan memang mengambil berat tentang kebajikan masyarakat.
DeleteTiada peraturan untuk keluar masuk parti. kalau ada pun yang akan keluar lagi lepas ni, biarlah mereka dengan halatuju politik mereka sendiri.
DeleteTuaran Upko division treasurer Daukim Gilu is the one who quit his post and come back to the party.
DeleteThey already make themself clear, hope no more assumption.
DeleteKebajikan rakyat harus sentiasa diutamakan.
DeleteGood news that UPKO remain loyal to BN.
DeleteWhit this fulfil promise i thought Datuk Musa already try the best for this. More development have given by Govt. But yeah we know got certain place still not get throughfall from development. But soon will be implement because govt will do the develop step by step. So just wait for it.
ReplyDeletepembangunan memerlukan masa, yang penting usaha perlu sentiasa dibuat.
DeleteThe government needs time to prioritize their project.
DeleteMasalah bekalan air bersih ini bukan saja dialami di Ranau malah kawasan seperti di Kuala Penyu. Namun, penduduk di Kuala Penyu percaya masalah ini akan diselesaikan oleh kerajaan dalam jangka masa terdekat. Usaha kerajaan menyediakan kemudahan air ini dijalankan secara berperingkat.
ReplyDeleteI think if I'm not mistaken, Kemabong do face this problem as well. So I think that the authorities should let the ministers know, maybe can write a letter or something. So they'll be aware of it.
DeleteThe government should prioritize their project. Lets go ahead with the project that may affect daily life.
DeletePairin said five million ringgit has been allocated to resolve the water problem in Tambunan. The water supply interruptions which often happened during the rainy season would be overcome by February next year.
ReplyDeleteUsaha ini amat membanggakan, inilah projek yang diperlukan untuk memanfaatkan majoriti penduduk.
DeleteGaya Island will soon have clean water after the round-the-clock power supply as the government strives to improve the living condition of the islanders.
ReplyDeleteDeputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Yahya Hussin said the government has allocated RM93 million to provide clean water to four villages, namely Kesuapan, Lok Baru, Lok Urai and Pulau Gaya on the island.
“We fulfilled our promises and we don’t believe in making empty talks,” he added.
The construction of the rural water pipe project is proof of the BN Government's concern of the need of the people in Kota Belud.
DeleteBagualah kerajaan menunaikan janji untuk membuat kerja naik taraf.
DeleteWR harus memastikan semua projek dijalankan dengan lancar dan mencapai kejayaan yang memuaskan.
DeletePakatan tidak mampu selesaikan isu air di Selangor. Tidak dapat bayangkan jika Pakatan menjadi kerajaan di Malaysia/Sabah. Tentu masalah air akan jadi lebih teruk.
ReplyDeletebukan saja Selangor, di kelantan jg mengalami masalah air.
DeleteMasalah air ni boleh berlaku di mana2 saja. yang penting penyelesain tu perlu ada supaya rakyat tidak tanggung masalah dalam tempoh masa yang lama.
DeleteThe Federal Government and all states will adopt the national water resources policy to ensure the country’s water resources are managed in an integrated and sustainable manner.
ReplyDeleteSabah’s overall water supply has improved significantly with noticeable reduction in non-revenue water (NRW), although several districts are still facing insufficient supply.
DeleteSabah Water Department director Ag Mohd Tahir Mohd Talib said based on statistics, the number of complaints received with regard to water supply interruption or low water pressure had declined significantly over the last two years.
The remaining few districts still facing insufficient supply would also be expected to have enough clean water for their population soon, based on the various projects currently being implemented.
DeleteTerbukti usaha kerajaan memenuhi keperluan rakyat. Semoga rakyat tidak bersalah faham dengan kerajaan.
DeletePairin says global climate change will affect water resources and water supply in Sabah in the future, hence the state government suggested building dams to store water for a long period of time.
ReplyDeleteKira2 350 penduduk Kampung Sumalang berhampiran Jalan Ranau-Tambunan, mendapat kemudahan bekalan air setelah bertahun2 bergantung kepada sumber air hujan.
ReplyDeleteProjek bekalan air bersih berkenaan diserahkan kepada penduduk kampung dalam satu majlis sederhana yang disempurnakan Menteri Pelancongan Kebudayaan dan Alam Sekitar Sabah, Datuk Masidi Manjun yang juga wakil rakyat kawasan berkenaan.
Turun padang dan memahami keadaan sebenar rakyat. Cuma budaya turun padang dapat ketahui isu yang rakyat hadapi.
Deletesebenarnya tidak ada daerah yang diabaikan oleh kerajaan.. yang penting buat aduan secara berterusan sehingga la bantuan itu sampai ke kawasan yang memerlukannya..
ReplyDeletekalau pun pembangkang mengambil alih kerajaan negeri Sabah, belum tentu mereka mampu menyelesaikan masalah air di negeri ini dalam masa 20 tahun.. lihat saja bagaimana keadaan di kelantan yang saiznya jauh lebih kecil dari Sabah..
ReplyDeletePembangkang hanya cakap lebih saja. Janji saja lebih.
DeleteProjek Telaga Tiub, yang diperkenalkan oleh Kementerian Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar, bakal menjadi sandaran baharu bagi menangani masalah bekalan air bersih khususnya di kawasan pedalaman Sabah.
ReplyDeleteKerajaan negeri memperuntukkan sebanyak RM5 juta bagi menaik taraf takungan air Sungai Tondulu dekat sini bertujuan mengatasi masalah bekalan air di Tambunan
Deletebeberapa daerah di Sabah termasuk Semporna, Sipitang, Pitas, (Balambangan) Pulau Banggi, Keningau, Lahad Datu dan Tawau telah dinilai untuk mendapatkan maklumat awal berkaitan potensi, kuantiti dan kualiti air yang boleh diperoleh di kawasan berkenaan di bawah projek Kajian Sumber Air Bawah Tanah oleh Jabatan Mineral dan Geosains (JMG).
Deletehasilnya sebanyak lapan telaga dibangunkan yang memberi manfaat kepada sekitar 3,100 orang penduduk setempat. telaga itu dilengkapi dengan kemudahan tangki, pam, sistem penapis dan sistem perpaipan yang berharga RM241,000.
DeleteProjek ini pasti memanfaatkan banyal golongan yang bersusahan mendapat bekalan yang mencukupi.
DeletePeruntukan yang disalurkan harus diguna dengan baik, jangan pula ada rasuah yang menyebabkan kualiti projek tidak tercapai.
Deleteusaha untuk memenuhi keperluan rakyat sentiasa dibuat dari masa ke masa.
ReplyDeleteuntuk melakukan pembangunan ianya memerlukan masa dan bukannya dapat dibuat sekelip mata. apa pun, semua harus bekerjasama untuk majukan Sabah.
ReplyDeleteFor the long-term, Mohd Tahir said a RM100 million water supply system had been planned to supply treated water to Kundasang town and its areas nearby. Allocation requests have been made under the 10th Malaysia Plan's first rolling plan (2011-2012), second rolling plan (2012-2013) and third rolling (2013-2014).
ReplyDeleteSo the villagers need not to be worried after this.
Hal ini pasti akan selesai, cuma ia memerlukan masa. Jadi sama-samalah kita bersabar.
ReplyDeleteRM100 million water supply system had been planned to supply treated water to Kundasang town and its areas nearby.
ReplyDeletePasti ada penyelesaian yang akan di lakukan untk menyelesaikan masalah ini.
ReplyDeleteApapun rakyat kena sabar menanti pasti akan mendapat bekalan air bersih menjelang tahun 2013, selepas peruntukan diluluskan.
ReplyDeleteThe government should provide means of water source for the people living in the villages.
ReplyDeleteIt is important to consider the needs of the people.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the era where people in the villiages need not to worry or lack clean/treated water.
ReplyDeleteI hope Musa is able to solve problems faces by the people.
ReplyDeleteI hope Musa is able to solve problems faces by the people.
ReplyDeleteThe state government will be able to handle water problems in the rural areas.
ReplyDeleteIt is of high expectation that the local government needs to facilitate water projects in these areas.
ReplyDeletePM is also aware of these problems in Sabah, hopefully he has got plans to solve them.
ReplyDeleteSabah has been developed and transformed to a better change than couple of years back.
ReplyDeleteIt is very crucial that the state and federal government work in hand to bring about rapid development.
ReplyDeleteMusa has really tried so far in respect to the state improvement and management policy.
ReplyDeleteThere have being a significant change in sabah compared to previous years way back.
ReplyDeleteThe current projects implemented will have to deal with the insufficient supply of water in the local areas.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a good idea if dams are built to store large volumes of water incase of global climate change.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a good idea if dams are built to store large volumes of water incase of global climate change.
ReplyDeleteAll these complaints will be brought to the notice of the leaders.
ReplyDeleteThe people in the remote areas need our support as well.
ReplyDeleteThe government is working hard to upgrade the people status.
ReplyDeleteGeografi Sabah amat mencabar untuk projek naik taraf, namun, kerajaan masih berusaha membaiki kelemahan.
ReplyDeleteThe national 2012 Budget provides RM2.1 billion to expand water supply to 200,000 homes in the rural areas of Sabah and Sarawak, while the Sabah government has provided RM458.8 million for the same purpose this year.
ReplyDeletePeruntukan yang disalurkan harus diuruskan dengan bijak agar tiada pembaziran atau kerugian yang merisikokan semua pihak.
Tidak hairan rakyat kurang sabar, sebab mereka telah bertahun-tahun menantikan bekalan yang baik dan mencukupi.
ReplyDeleteBekalan air bersih di negeri ini dijangka akan bertambah baik dalam tempoh lima tahun akan datang dengan penyiapan dan pelaksanaan projek-projek sedia ada, kata Timbalan Ketua Menteri Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.
ReplyDeleteBeliau yang juga Menteri Pembangunan Infrastruktur berkata, penyaluran bekalan air bersih melalui paip utama dan paip graviti di kawasan luar bandar juga kini semakin meningkat.
ReplyDelete“Memang masih ada yang belum dapat tetapi semuanya akan kita masukkan dalam perancangan akan datang dan dalam masa lima tahun akan datang banyak lagi masalah bekalan air akan diselesaikan,” katanya.
