Army personnel help to fill containers with clean water at a village in Asajaya.

 

KUCHING: The Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) delivered 500 gallons of clean water to four villages in Asajaya currently facing water shortages.

A statement yesterday said the water was sent to Kampung Senangeh, Kampung Sungai Buloh, Kampung Rangawan and Kampung Sungai Putin, which have been experiencing shortage since May 28.

Nine members of the 10th Battalion Royal Ranger Regiment led by Major Mohd Faiez Abdul Rahim worked together with the Rural Water Supply Department (JBALB) to get clean water from the Asajaya and Tambirat water treatment plants.

The clean water was transported using the army’s 10,000-litre water bowser truck.
The statement added that ATM hoped the delivery helped to ease some of the difficulties faced by the affected villagers.
