INCOMPLETE and dysfunctional drainage system in Sabah is a
common problem faced by the public. It’s a shame that the relevant authority
does not have experts in handling such cases. How can this be happening? DBKK
and the selected contractors have been in around for many years now and haven’t
they learnt anything?
Andrew lee, Special Assistant to MP of Kota Kinabalu
received a complaint from a parent who's child is studying in St Francis
Convent Primary school at Bukit Padang. The drain along Jalan SK St Francis Convent
has not been maintain and its rich with vegetation that courses blockage. He was made to understand that this drain was last serviced two
years ago.
There are pools of stagnant water and there are mosquito
larvae detected. This poses danger to students studying at two schools nearby.
This is mosquito breeding grounds. Must there be a case before the relevant
authorities take action?
To make matters worse, this particular drain is link to the
main drain which was constructed 3 months ago. However, the connection was not
constructed and a pile of derbies was left behind from the construction of the
main drain.
Why this drain construction job left half done? Don’t this
contractor and the relevant authorities have an engineer of their own to study
and consult on this matter?
Sabah DAP urges the
relevant authorities and contractors to immediately get the job done and to
ensure the drainage systems work effectively. The public interest, safety and
comfort come first and it must be a primary concern. (DAP Media)
