JAMAL NORUBIT DETERMINED TO FIX KAWANG’S WATER PROBLEMS WITH INNOVATIVE APPROACH

By Rohana Nasrah

PAPAR, Nov 25 (Bernama) -- Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for the Kawang state seat, Datuk Jamal Norubit, is determined to introduce gravity-fed water systems and tube wells as alternative solutions to the frequent water supply problems in the area.

He said the approach is an innovative, practical and effective short-term measure to provide clean water access to local residents.

“The cost of building tube wells is not high, and they can help solve the water problems that people in Papar often face. Sometimes they have no water for weeks. Even when there is water, it is only available at night and none during the day.

“This makes life very difficult for villagers. So the nearest solution is to build gravity-fed wells. This method is very simple,” he told Bernama recently.

Jamal, who uses the slogan “New Candidate, New Spirit, New Ideas”, said he will also focus on empowering young people if given the mandate to represent Kawang in the 17th Sabah State Election.

He said this includes his commitment to providing basic infrastructure that appeals to youth, such as building a mini-stadium so they can play football more comfortably, as well as creating more job opportunities.

“Give me a chance to serve in Kawang,” he said.

Polling is scheduled for Nov 29.
