THE MARKET in Taman Jambo, Petagas, is unbelievably dirty and filthy. This was discovered during the walkabout conducted by the KK MP Hiew King Cheu with Edward Ewol Mujie, Andrew Lee, and Stephen Yaman to the Petagas area.
The market is so dirty that the drains are filled up with garbage and plastic bottles. It looks as if these drains were not cleaned for a long time. The drain covers have disappeared leaving dangerous dead-traps everywhere. The internal drains were also very dirty and had not been washed too.
The ceiling of the market is covered with plenty of spider web and looks dirty. This was not cleared off since the opening of the market, according to the hawkers. The water supply is no longer in service and the meat hawkers have not been able to get water for their washing purposes. They have to carry water from a water tank outside the market. The water tank has no cover and the water is dirty.
The garbage collection bin-centre is full and leaving piles of garbage exposed under the sun and rain for days. The place is smelly and not being washed daily. The sewerage system here is mal-functioned for long and the foul water always overflow and giving out foul smell everywhere.
MP Hiew said the Putatan Council is not functioning properly, and they have not been doing the job of up keeping the Petagas and Putatan area to the required standard. The Sabah Minister Datuk Hajiji actually should come personally to see for himself the condition here, and the people said that if he cannot handle his job, he should resign to allow someone to take over.
The Putatan District Officer is also being blamed for not doing his job too. They said the market and the Petagas shops area is a small place, why the council cannot put in an effort to maintain it clean and hygienic. We want a better environment to live in, and not a ‘shit-hole’!
They further complained to the Sabah DAP visiting team that the whole Petagas Taman Jambo housing area is in need of a general clean up of the road, drains, and the surrounding. It is high time that the council should come here to do some work. - Sabahkini

ReplyDeleteThe drain covers needs to be replaced and obviously people have used the drains as rubbish bins, this must not be allowed to continue as it will cause blockage to drain and will lead to flooding during raining days.

The drains are filled up with garbage and plastic bottle because of the people. Even if the rubbish is few step away from them, they still choose to just throw it on the road. or the drains.

ReplyDeleteThe DBKK needs to go for regular rubbish collection on daily basis to avoid overflowing bin centres.

This wouldn't have happen if the people cooperate in keeping the environment clean. DBKK also plays a big part in ensuring the environment clean. They need to go for regular rubbish collection on daily basis.
DeleteHal ini harus mendapat perhatian dari pihak berkuasa agar kerja2 pembersihan dapat dilakukan dengan segera.
ReplyDeleteKerjasama dari pihak yang menggunakan longkang tersebut juga harap dapat diberikan dengan sebaik mungkin. Jika sampah2 yang boleh dikitar semula boleh lah dihantar untuk dikitar semula.

ReplyDeletebagus juga ada ahli DAP ini. Sekurangnya dapat juga kerajaan tahu masalah yang terlepas pandang.

ReplyDeleteIt is our responsibility to take care of the cleanliness. We need to cooperate with each other. Being ignorant on this issue will only worsen the situation.
