Came across with an article yesterday and feel kind of angry about this..
http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/10/22/nation/4954013&sec=nati
Although the article was posted 2 years ago, when i hadn't came to Kelantan,
I don't really think that there is any improvement in this past 2 years..
Having murky water supply should be a serious problem which have to be tackled immediately but not a norm which has been accustomed by the residents here..
Do you know that it does pose a danger to the health of the residents..
It is so ironic for the students in USMKK that we are studying in Health Campus but our health is deteriorating due to the chronic intake of contaminated water..
My white cloth is getting yellowish, my skin condition is becoming worse, and i am using and consuming the dirty water everyday..
The murky water in Kelantan is not a natural phenomenon, it's the result of irresponsible attitude of the state water management company..
Don't they know that they are playing a crucial role in ensuring a clean and safe-to-drink water supply?
Shouldn't they work out a way to solve the problem?
Or i should say that they never see this as a problem..
It said the state water management company did not place priority in cleaning its water pipes.
And when flushing was done, it was carried out without complying with the standard operating procedure, said the report, adding that records were incomplete.
“This has resulted in the quality of water supplied to consumers not meeting the standard set by the Health Ministry,” it said.
(extracted from the article)
OMG!!! These are their ways in managing the water supply...
The water is not originally yellowish but polluted by the uncleaned water pipes...
The authorities,
please do your job and don't overlook the residents's rights to have clean water..
p/s: I am just voicing out my own frustration, no offence to anyone..
