TAMPARULI town in Tuaran
District is truly dirty and full of rubbish on the street. The drains are
blocked and smelly water clogged on the road. The rubbish bins spilled over
with rubbish spread all over the road. It is very unsightly. The people
surrounding the area were very angry about the district council for not taking
care of this in spite of numerous complaints made.
This was observed during a
walkabout conducted by the Sabah DAP in Tamparuli, Tuaran. The team was led by
the Tuaran branch chairman Peter Liew Fui Ken with the KK MP Hiew King Cheu,
Edward Ewol Mujie, Noriah Onong, Andrew Lee, Robert Rajah and the DAP members
from Tamparuli.
Many people were complaining
about the problems in Tamparuli town, and the most common one is about the
rubbish and the cleanliness of the town and the birds (swallow) dropping the
shit dirtying the town and causing pollutions.
The birds are on the
increasing and the people wants the district council to do something about the
birds before it turns out to be like the one in the Kota Belud markets. The
road which is constantly flooded with foul water is needed to be attended to
and it is simple to drain off the water to keep the road surface dry.
There should be a rubbish
cubicle for the collection of the rubbish and not allowing the rubbish being
dumped and spread out on the road. The council workers should have no problems
to solve this problem and it would not cost a big sum of money.
Besides, the people also
complained to the DAP that the many bad roads here are needed immediate repair
before them become impassible. The roads were built poorly and that is why they
became broken up so quickly. They said their cars are being damaged by these
bad roads, and who is to pay for the heavy maintenance cost.
Peter Liew said he had been
calling SESB concerning the frequent power breakdown in Tamparuli and the
surrounding area. The people here are really angry about the power failure
especially they are in urgent need like going on line, cooking, and doing their
workshop work.
They said this is not
acceptable and they are suffering deeply most of the time. They want SESB to
guarantee a steady supply and no interruption of power supply.
Mr. Chong of Tamparuli
complained about the few dead trees along the road towards Ranau just passing
the round about going up hill. He said the dead trees can fall down and
endangering the road users and the power cables.
The authorities seem not
bordered about these dead trees. They should come immediately to clear away and
to protect the people. He said that the people with the authorities must have
received reports or seen the dangerous situation, but why no action taken.
Don’t wait until mishap happen then coming to do the remedial work, and then it
will be too late. (DAP Media)
