KG KIBABAIG DRAINAGE SYSTEM HAS TO BE RE-PLANNED: DAP
PENAMPANG:
Sabah Democratic Action Party (DAP) has called on the relevant authority to re-plan the drainage system in Kampung Kibabaig here following frequent flash floods during the rainy seasons.
“Villagers have complained to the authority about the drainage system but nothing has been done yet.
“Recently, the village was again hit by flash floods and a car got stuck while trying to brave the water,” said Sabah DAP Publicity Secretary Teddy Yang who visited the affected area with his assistant Dr Jeffrey Wong, organizing secretary Steven Jimbangan and ApiApi Branch Chairman Kenny Chai.
Wong, who is also the DAP Moyog Branch Chairman, said that Kibabaig .is a low land area and is surrounded by swampy area, thus vulnerable to floods during heavy rain.
“However, the situation worsens as a lot of land have been reclaimed for housing development. These projects do not come along with proper drainage system, so we hope the developers would also take note of this problem,” he said.
