THE VMY 2014 signage that was damaged by the wind and vandalised across from Kuching Waterfront on Saturday.

“But it is such a waste of money to repair things that keep getting stolen. Taxpayers money should be used for development and maintenance – not to repair stolen public properties,” he added.
