THE VMY 2014 signage that was damaged by the wind and vandalised across from Kuching Waterfront on Saturday. According to Kuching North City Hall, the lights at the installation, which were put up at the end of last year, had been stolen for the third time. “Everytime it is vandalised, we try to repair it and bill it to the (federal) Tourism Ministry,” Datuk Bandar Datuk Abang Abdul Wahap Abang Julai told Metro Sarawak last weekend.
“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.
