VILLAGERS in Kudat and Matunggong can expect better water supply by July next year.
Assistant Infrastructure Development Minister Pang Yuk Ming said to date, studies were being carried out, including the mechanical and electrical system check, site guarantees as well as quality of both raw and treated water. They were all expected to be completed by June this year.
Replying to a question by Tanjong Kapor assemblyman Datuk Teo Chee Kang, Pang said the proposal to supply water from the Milau dam and water treatment plant to surrounding villages had also been approved under the National Key Result Areas (NKRA).
“The project is expected to begin next month after documentation and tendering process are completed,” said Pang.
Meanwhile, the House was also told that the six roads have been listed under the NKRA and that works are expected to be completed by end of 2012.
Deputy Chief Minister Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan in reply to a question by Kiulu assemblyman Datuk Louis Rampas, explained that the six stretches were Jalan Pukak-Mantob and Jalan Gonipis-Tebobon in Kiulu; Jalan Tomis-Tiong-Lokos-Kotunuan-Wasai and Jalan Batu 28 Tambunan-Tudan-Pantai-Poring, Tuaran; Jalan Poring-Tebobon; and Jalan Mantob-Gonipis.
Of the six roads, the Jalan Pukak-Mantob and Jalan Tomis-Tiong-Lokos-Kotunuan-Wasai were completed this year while the Batu 28 Tambunan-Tudan-Pantai-Poring is 60 per cent completed.
“Works on the remaining stretches are expected to begin in June this year,” said Pairin, who is also the Infrastructure Development Minister.
