LDP’s Kapayan candidate questions  lack of federal funds to address floods
Kota Kinabalu: Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Kapayan candidate Datuk Yong Wui Chung (pic) expressed disappointment at the lack of federal funding to the State Government between 2018 and 2019 to address the frequent flooding in the constituency.

He said the incumbent Kapayan assemblywoman Jannie Lasimbang promised during the 2018 general election to resolve the issue of illegal houses and frequent flooding in Kepayan.
