Taman Gamang Residents complain of blocked drains after years of neglect by council

SRI AMAN -The DAP Sri Aman today received numerous complaints from Taman Gamang residents in Sri Aman, about the drains being clogged by soil siltation over so many years. The complainants said the drainage in front of their houses have been blocked for these many years & there has been a pool of water there for so many years.

According to residents, the blocked drainage was due to siltation of the soil & sand surrounding the housing estate building up all these many years. During flash floods years before, their furniture were destroyed. And it is claimed by the residents that the MDSA did send somebody to check on the situation a few times, but until now, there has been no action by the council. 

 According to Leon 'there are nearly 50 residential homes affected by flash floods during rainy seasons because of these drains are not repaired by the Sri Aman District Council. These people from Taman Gamang are rate-payers therefore should not have been neglected as they have never delayed paying their dues to the Council, so the council should not ignore their request for the drains to be repaired.'

'We will be officially writing to MDSA to request for them to repair the drainage as soon as possible' added Leon.
