SMELLY DRAINS REFLECTED POOR GOVERNMENT




IT IS BECOMING a norm for the people living in Kota Kinabalu and in Sabah in general to see blocked drains that are smelly, dirty and full of rubbish; and this one behind the Foh Sang shops along Jalan Kolam is under the jurisdiction of the Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) and DBKK.

Kota Kinabalu Member of Parliament Hiew King Cheu said, it is not only an eyesore but the stinking smell puts people off their lunch or dinner. What is the DID and DBKK doing, and it is their job to go around and inspect all the drains under their jurisdiction? People - who live in the area, the shops owners and the people who frequent the area for their food, are all complaining, but only to deaf ears?
Hiew said, this kind of thing has been going on all the time and for ages. Nobody seems to be responsible and will attend to clean up the drains. So it is very clear that the authorities are not doing their job. The KK City Mayor who is in charge just couldn’t care less about the problem even with the people are watching and scrutinizing their performance so very close to the elections. This is why the people want to have a change in the administration of the state for betterment.

PM Najib has told the BN people to “Turun Padang” and to do their jobs properly and meet the people to listen to the peoples’ problems. It looks like they are still very comfortable sitting in their air-conditioned offices having a good time.
The BN leaders during their CNY greeting visit in town are often being thrown back by the people with a common saying “Hallo, nice to see you once a year”! However, there is a lot of work that should be done, such as cleaning up large drain which is a simple task but cannot be handled and resolved, what else can they do for the people?

Not only these drains are smelly and dirty; they are also unhygienic and a good breeding ground for pests and insects. These drains are eyesore and shocking for tourism as they do not give a good impression to tourists about Sabah and Malaysia. How can we show a good example to others? The BN government is on a transformation program and these kinds of examples are not transformations at all. The BN ministers are all still sleeping, and it is now time for a big change, and not necessary to wake them up anymore. WE just change them.

Don’t wait until the drains get clogged up by rubbish and started flooding. The people may have to do “Gotong Royong” to clean up the drains by themselves one day. (DAP Media)
