“We as adults are afraid to navigate our way into the unkempt area, much less children.”
She hoped that the Tawau Municipal Council would clear the weeds immediately to stop the grass from growing any taller due to the incessant rain recently, as well as to prevent dengue fever breaking out in the area.
On the other hand, Chang and her team member, Chau Xing Hong, have also received complaint about the dirtiness and foul smell emitting from the rubbish chute at the shoplot at Lorong Abaca 2 next to Marco Polo Hotel.
She said the bureau had received similar complaint in January this year about the slippery ground near the garbage chute that was believed to be caused by leaking sewer pipes.
