KOTA KINABALU: Ramadan is a month that teaches Muslims about humility and patience.
However, for many in Tuaran, Menggatal and Penampang in Sabah, the test of patience is almost too much too bear – they are being forced to break their fast with bottled water and forgo proper baths.Many have to buy bottled water to cook and wash themselves, leading to increased costs and much inconvenience. What’s worse, even bottled water is now difficult to get.
She and her husband had to wipe themselves clean while their three sons, aged nine, six and four, bathed with bottled water. “How can we continue living like this? We have to take care of our children’s needs and prepare for the breaking of fast and other things,” she said. On March 17, Shahelmey said Sabah was facing an acute water supply shortage, especially in northern Kota Kinabalu.
