Merlimau voter living without water for more than two decades gets attention

Dairy farmer enjoys polls' shower of attention

After more than two decades living without water, the by-election has finally brought welcome news for Merlimau voter C Ragunathan.

Soon after Malaysiakini reported his predicament last week, the dairy farmer received visits from politicians and representatives of government agencies suddenly keen to solve his problems.

When met yesterday, Ragunathan said, "After the report, representatives of the state water agency came and inspected our premises and enquired about how we source for water. Even the health department came to ask if we put chlorine in the well we use for drinking water...But they didn't promise to provide running water."

Ahh no worries, Ragu. I think soon you will enjoy 'unlimited' water supply if you vote for BN.
