SANDAKAN: All state leaders should prioritise and focus their attention on resolving the water supply issues faced by the state, urged Member of Parliament for Sandakan, Vivian Wong.
“Stop using the water issue as a political football and play to the gallery. If all our experienced leaders can come together and pursue the water crisis in a single-mindedly manner, it can be resolved in the shortest possible time.”
Vivian, who is DAP Sabah Publicity Secretary and also a Member of Parliament was part of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) delegation that was here for a four day visit to investigate the seemingly never ending water woes in the state.
Besides water supply problems, Vivian has also expressed concern on the water quality issue. Thus, a dialogue between PAC members and the Sandakan Water Watch Committee headed by Datuk John Khoo, was held to highlight concerns of the Committee.
