PENAMPANG, 29 Jun 2020: Naib Presiden Parti Progresif Sabah (SAPP) Aloysius Danim Siap hari ini mengecam Kerajaan Negeri kerana tidak bersungguh-sungguh mencari penyelesaian jangka panjang menangani banjir besar di Penampang dan kawasan lain akibat hujan lebat pada hari Sabtu baru-baru ini. Beberapa kawasan ditenggelami air banjir hingga dua meter.
Aloysius, yang juga pengerusi SAPP Moyog CLC, mengatakan bahawa dia masih ingat Darell Leiking, seorang anggota parlimen Warisan pada tahun 2017, sebelum PRU14, telah mencabar pemerintah BN sebelumnya untuk mengosongkan kerajaan jika mereka tidak dapat menyelesaikan masalah banjir di Penampang.
Dia (Darell) juga menegaskan kepada kerajaan ketika itu untuk memberi laluan kepada Parti Warisan Sabah untuk mentadbir Negeri dan dengan bangga mengatakan bahawa mereka (Warisan) akan membuktikan apa yang dapat dilakukan.
"Sekarang, haruskah kerajaan pimpinan Warisan mengosongkan kerajaan juga karena mereka tidak menepati janji mereka dan gagal mengatasi masalah yang sama?" tanya Aloysius lagi.
Aloysius juga ingat bahawa Ketua Menteri Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal yang pada bulan Jun 2018 mengeluarkan kenyataan bahawa aktiviti pembalakan telah menjadi punca menyebabkan kawasan seperti Penampang mudah dilanda banjir. ... "Ini (kesan pembalakan) adalah salah satu penyebab banjir ketika air hujan mengalir dari Tambunan (di Keningau) menjadi takungan di Penampang," kata Shafie.
"Datuk Seri Shafie mengatakan bahawa pembalakan di Keningau, dapat mengalir dari Crocker Range ke Penampang dan menyebabkan banjir. Tetapi sudah dua tahun sekarang, banjir menjadi lebih teruk. Adakah kerana lebih banyak penebangan balak di Keningau? " tambah Aloysius.

Aloysius: Resolve flooding issue or vacate government
PENAMPANG, June 29, 2020: Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) Vice President Aloysius Danim Siap today lambasted the State Government for not doing enough to seek a long term solution to the recent extensive flooding in Penampang and other areas as a result of torrential rainfall on Saturday. Some areas were inundated by up to two metres of flood water.
Aloysius, who is also SAPP Moyog CLC chairman, said he recalled that Darell Leiking, a Warisan MP who in 2017, before GE14, had challenged the previous BN government to vacate the government if they cannot resolve the perennial flooding in Penampang. He (Darell) also insisted the then government to make way for Parti Warisan Sabah to administer the State and boasted that they (Warisan) will show what it can do.
“Now, should the government of the day vacate the government too since they did not live up to their promise?” he queried.
Aloysius also remembered that the Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal who in June 2018 said that logging activities had been instrumental in causing areas such as Penampang to become easily flooded. ... “This (logging effect) is one of the causes of floods as rainwater flows from Tambunan (in Keningau) to stagnate in Penampang,” which the Chief Minister.added.
“Datuk Seri Shafie had said that the logging in Keningau, could flow over the Crocker Range to Penampang and caused the flood. But it’s been two years now, the floods have become worse. Is it because of more logging at Keningau?” he questioned.
