SUPP Public Complaints Bureau Chief cum Kota Sentosa Branch Chairman, Wilfred Yap have been consistently approached by the residents of Stampin Resettlement Scheme during his regular “turun padang” activity to the area with SUPP members.

The residents have on numerous occasions been complaining about the poor road and drainage condition which are blocking and impeding the flow of water causing stagnant ponding of water and flash flooding every time it rains heavily. As such, the residents had requested for clearing of rubbish and overgrown weeds and improvement works to be carried out on the earth drains to prevent flash flooding and waterlogged roads in view of the coming rainy season.

Instead of just complaining, SUPP Public Complaints Bureau hopes that residents will also take proactive steps not to throw rubbish indiscriminately into the drains which is not only unsightly but which will clogged up the drains and cause flooding.

As an interim measure, SUPP Public Complaints Bureau Chief, Wilfred Yap have on behalf of the residents requested Kuching South City Council and Drainage & Irrigation Department to urgently take immediate action to resolve the complaints of the residents.

SUPP Public Complaints Bureau also appeals to the Federal or State Government to assist the residents of Stampin Resettlement Scheme by allocating development funds to resolve the problems of the poor road and drainage situation.
