when ppl fail to clean their drainages or convert it to waste channels, that's what we get. govt will only spend the meager resources while we suffer for misuse. b careful.

Don't expect the govt to do everything for you..the elites in that community should join hands together and work it out.. Waiting for the govt is like waiting forever

Thank you winace. Your comments and observations has always been from a matured mind. If citizens can do the right thing, most of the problems of this country will fizzle out un-noticed.
