SUPP Public Complaints Bureau Chief and SUPP Candidate for N12 Kota Sentosa, Wilfred Yap was recently approached by business owners and traders operating opposite the the Kota Sentosa market who requested for his assistance to clear the on blocked drains.
The matter have since been highlighted and brought up to the attention of the Majlis Perbandaran Padawan (MPP). Following the request for assistance received, Wilfred Yap immediately went to inspect and assess the situation with the officers of the public health section of Majlis Perbandaran Padawan and also to see what can be done to resolve the problems raised by the business owners and traders.
From the investigation carried out, the problem of the blocked drains have been a long standing issue due to the shop owners carrying out renovation works resulting in the uneven level of the drain which thereby disrupted the water flow. Another problem is the indiscriminate dumping of organic material by some traders into the drain thereby slowing and disrupting the water flow which in turn caused the blockage over a short period of time.
A check with MPP records shows that the drains have been cleared only recently. However, MPP have requested their contractor to de sludge and unblock the drain again.
SUPP Public Complaints Bureau Chief, Wilfred Yap advised the traders and business owners there to cooperate and be considerate in future and not to throw any organic material into the drain to prevent the blockage of the drain from occurring again.
SUPP Public Complaints Bureau is always ready to lend a helping hand to the anyone facing problems or who come across problems of public interest but does not know how to deal with it. Anyone requiring assistance can always call SUPP Public Complaint’s mobile number at 016-7797688 or 082-246999 or go direct to SUPP Head Office to request for assistance.
