A member of the public recently expressed shock that thousands of gallons of water have been gushing form the storage facility at the left side of the entrance to the premises for nearly a month with so many people in many places in Sabah are having to buy bottled mineral water in order to bathe, drink or cook.
Member of the public also expressed how nice it would be if the complex management spared some thought and installed tanks to channel the water into them and invite the public and nearby residents to take the water home in containers as part of its CSR.
