KOTA KINABALU: The additional allocation under the 12th Malaysia Plan mid-term review for Sabah to address water woes has been anticipated for a long time, says Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya.
Sabah believes that the immediate allocation of RM800mil to address water supply disruption in Sabah as well as Kelantan was based on discussions with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim earlier this year.
The delay in channelling the assistance became a hot political issue amid unending water woes ranging from low pressure to dry taps over the last 18 months in several parts of the state including Kota Kinabalu.
