“However, I would like to announce that all six tube wells are fully completed. I would also like to emphasise that this is only as an alternative if the water source from the Sabah Water Department experiences disruption. The Sepanggar Member of Parliament added that the issue of water supply disruption at UMS has been going on for quite some time, following the rapid development in the surrounding area, including the construction of the Pan Borneo Highway, in addition to the water capacity at the Telibong and Moyog water treatment plants not increasing, which caused the problem to worsen.
