Dry taps ahead for Tawau residents

The government's construction of a dam to address the water problem in Tawau may just lead to newer setbacks.

TAWAU: Another parched year is in store for residents in this east coast district of Sabah despite annual assurances that the water shortage here is about to end.

Tawau MP Chua Soon Bui said that residents here should prepare for another long wait for a solution to the daily water supply disruptions.

Rakyat Weston derita tanpa bekalan air

BEAUFORT: Bekalan air merupakan keperluan asas yang amat diperlukan, bukan sahaja untuk minuman, masakan dan kerja mencuci, tetapi juga mencukupi pelbagai keperluan lain seperti air sembahyang kenduri kendara dan sebagainya.

Pekan kecil Weston terletak kira-kira 28 KM dari Pekan Beaufort sering mengalami gangguan bekalan hampir setiap bulan. Ditengah-tengah kemeriahan penduduknya mengadakan kenduri arwah dan majlis perkahwinan selain rutin harian, putusnya bekalan memang mendatangkan derita.
