Construction of water catchments being proposed to deal with Sabah water woes, says Bung Moktar

KOTA KINABALU: The construction of water retention areas is being proposed to overcome water shortages in Sabah in the long term, says Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin (pic).

The Deputy Chief Minister, who is also State Public Works Minister, however, noted that the challenge is the cost as one pond would cost around RM500mil and would require 1,000ha for each district.
