'Clean water for Kedup folk when extension to Slabi plant completed’
Posted on June 25, 2011, Saturday

PEOPLE in Kedup area will get clean water supply once the Slabi water treatment expansion plant is completed.

Martin Ben (BN-Kedup) said the treatment plan which would supply clean water to the whole of Serian district was expected to be completed next year.

“I hope the government will speed up the construction of the treatment plant for the betterment of Kedup people,” he said when debating on the Head of State’s address at the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) yesterday. He also urged the Ministry of Environment and Public Health and the local councils to assist in educating the public on the importance of domestic waste disposal.
 
“Most of them are unaware of this and its effect on the environment. They just simply dump their rubbish in the rivers.”

He hoped the ministry would come up with effective strategies to overcome the problem.
