Squatter tanks aim to stop water theft


Shahelmey: ‘These communities need water and not all residents are illegal immigrants. Many locals live there too.’

KOTA KINABALU: Static water tanks have been deployed to squatter areas here to curb illegal water tapping that has disrupted supply to thousands of homes.

State Works Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya said the initiative, including efforts in Kampung Brunei, is part of a broader strategy to stabilise water distribution, especially in areas prone to leaks and low pressure.
