One man's kindness draws Balakong folk closer

Good Samaritan: Siew (holding pipe connected to water tank) distributing water twice in the evening to his neighbours in Taman Desa Karunmas.

THE water crisis may have brought suffering to Balakong folk but residents in Taman Desa Karunmas have become close knit through the kind act of one man and his employer, who distributes water to his neighbours every night.

Storekeeper Siew Wan Hee, 51, who has been living in the neighbourhood for four years, takes the trouble to distribute water twice a night, since the water problem began.
