‘Water supply sabotage an irresponsible, inhumane act’
LAWAS: The recent water supply sabotage by personnel of Lawas Public Work Department (PWD) is “an inhumane act” and one that had cast aspersion on the image of civil servants in general.
PBB Punang Jaya chief Awang Bohari Lair said turning off the main pipe which delivered water to Punang was an irresponsible act as it affected the lives of more than 5,000 residents.
“Actions should be taken against the culprits, including firing those responsible, because this is clearly a disciplinary problem,” he said in a press statement yesterday.
“As an authority entrusted to provide water supply to residents here, all standard procedures should be under strict enforcement and inspection from time to time.”
Awang Bohari said the speedy action taken by Lawas PWD, including firing the individual responsible, was correct.
“Strict action against the culprit, including firing the person, is wise so that problems which can create chaos among people will not happen again.
“We all expect a high standard of integrity and professionalism in the department in managing all problems, including those involving unethical attitudes.”
Last Wednesday, Lawas PWD identified an element of sabotage which caused the inability to channel clean water supply directly to residents along Jalan Punang for a while.
Lawas PWD engineer Norman Jan, in disclosing the problem, said the problem of sabotage was believed to be done by a personnel of Lawas PWD.
