Pulau Bum-Bum residents relying on rain, expensive deliveries from mainland for daily water needs

KOTA KINABALU: Residents of Pulau Bum-Bum in Semporna have been relying on rainwater, wells or bring in water from the mainland, ever since the water pipeline fell into disrepair some time ago.

With Hari Raya Aidilfitri approaching, the situation has become even more difficult, with families struggling to afford the additional cost of buying water from the mainland.
