SIBU: Since as long ago as the 1960s, Kanowit residents have been experiencing low water pressure in their homes. The situation is only getting worse as the area’s population has increased fivefold to 32,000 since then.

Kanowit PKR publicity chief Dawi Abon blamed the area’s MP and two assemblymen for their “tidak apa” (lackadaisical) attitude in not putting serious efforts to solve the problem.
