GUA MUSANG: About 500 Orang Asli residents in Kampung Pasir Linggi and Kampung Machang in Pos Lebir here have been suffering from water shortages for three weeks.
The residents claimed that the problem is caused by their tap water reservoir supply, which keeps drying up due to the hot weather, making the supply insufficient for daily use.
"For three weeks we have been struggling with the problem, there is no water during the day and water only comes at night around midnight or 1 am. At midnight, we usually fetch water for cooking but it is still not enough because we do not have a big barrel to store water," she said when met by reporters in Kampung Pasir Linggi, Pos Lebir.
"There are residents who have to walk up to an hour to fetch water and even have to bathe in the murky Sungai Lebir because they have no other choice. The pipe water reservoir is not enough to meet the needs of our nearly 500 residents," he said.
