KOTA BHARU: The water problem in Kelantan is getting more acute with residents complaining of dry taps.
They blame the situation on poor management by the Kelantan government.
In the Kota Baru district, the affected areas include Kampung Kubang Palas, Kampung Mentera, Kampung Kubur Datu, Kampung Bechah, Kampung Tambak, Kampung Terap, Kampung Alor Pinang, Kampung Sungai and Kampung Nangka.
Residents in these areas complained that they had not been getting clean water supply from Air Kelantan Sdn Bhd (AKSB), the state's water concessionaire, for several years.
"If there is, which is rare, we have to stay up late at night to gather water from the tap into large containers and then use it sparingly," said Abdullah Abdul Rahman, 59.
He said AKSB did not send water supply to the villagers when the taps went dry.
"We have to look for water supply on our own, but at the end of the month we still have to pay the water bill," he added.
Another villager, Jali Ani, 57, from Kampung Terap, said it was a problem when villagers were to host feasts, like wedding or thanksgiving feasts, at home.
