Piped water soon for Kg Bulu Silou folks

KENINGAU, February 5 (Daily Express) -- Residents of Kg Bulu Silou can look forward to piped water soon after a water gravity system was approved by Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Seri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.

While on a visit to the village, some two kilometres from here on Saturday, Pairin, who is also the MP for Keningau was told of the water problems faced by the people there.

After listening to their pleas, Pairin said he would approve the request, adding that the district office would fix the site of the gravity system and the costs.

The village had already been connected with water pipes by the Water Department but because of low pressure, the villagers could not be guaranteed a regular supply.

At the function on Saturday Pairin met people from several villages that come under the Patikang voting district.

Pairin also officiated the road connecting Kg Audon and Kg Bulu Siou, as well as a sepak takraw court – both projects utilised money from the MP’s fund.

Later Pairin also approved various small requests.

He approved a contribution of 100 plastic chairs for the Kg Patikang Ulu, Patikang Laut, Bulu Silou and Bakiau balai raya.

Kg Kadalakan JKKK received a grass cutting machine while families at Agudon got cooking utensils.

Meanwhile, PBS Liawan chairman, Robert Ungkau denied reports that some 250 members had defected to Parti Keadilan Rakyat.
