PENAMPANG: A Christmas Bazaar organised by Li-Co group with 60 participating stalls was nearly washed out due to leaking roofs and gutters at the Buhavan Square Donggongon.A similar washout in July affected all the electrical and furniture goods of a local company. The Daily Express report prompted the local council to conduct some repairs then but only one downpipe was fixed while the rest of the leaks remained.

The two-day bazaar was dry on the first day. However, the second day on Saturday saw the roof leaking all over the place, including broken gutters and rainfall at the centre.

The organisers said the centre stalls paid higher rent of RM50 per day and would make a profit provided no such washout occurs. Ironically the centre stalls are more affected by the rain.

The local council could not be contacted for comments yesterday (Sunday).

The Square was a venue for big events in the past, including RTM live recordings, singing competitions, dinner parties and political events as well as monthly bazaars and most were lucky there were no heavy.
