“We will propose for this to be given priority in the 13th Malaysia Plan,” he said when asked about the pipe leakages which the residents claimed to be frequently happening.Some 200 Kg Padang residents here had on Saturday complained of not having clean water supply for four days. Resident Hamdzah Amin said it is possible that the water supply to the village was disrupted due to a burst in the main pipe.
He said during the period without clean water supply, some residents obtained water from their family members who used tube wells. “Luckily, I dug a tube well back in 2022 and this is where some residents get water if the water supply from the department is disrupted,” he said. * Follow us on Instagram and join our Telegram and/or WhatsApp channel for the latest news you don't want to miss.
