KUDAT: PKR Kota Marudu branch head Sazalye Donol urged the authorities to promptly resolve the prolonged water supply disruptions affecting several villages in the Matunggong area.
He said several villages had been experiencing disruptions and shortages for nearly two weeks, causing residents to face difficulties in carrying out their daily activities.
He said despite repeated complaints, there’s still no real solution from the authorities to ease the hardship faced by the local community.

It keeps happening over and over, and there’s still no real fix. In the end, it’s the villagers who suffer the most, forced to live with the stress and burden of an unreliable water supply.”
“What worries us even more is that the water coming into the homes is cloudy and unsafe, making it really hard for families to use it for their daily needs,” he said in a statement here, on July 15.
Sazalye who is also Sabah PKR Secretary urged the Matunggong and Kudat District Water Departments, to provide an official explanation for the cause of the water supply disruption.
He said immediate and proactive measures are necessary to address the issue, including provision of alternative water supplies such as regular tanker deliveries.
He said a long-term solution is necessary to ensure the sustainability of clean water supply to all residents, as water is a basic necessity that cannot be taken lightly.
“This is not a political issue. It concerns the basic needs of the people. We seek assurance, not just promises, and an immediate solution is required for the well-being of the community,” he emphasised.
