He highlighted the Prime Minister’s commitment to addressing the challenges faced by Labuan, citing an additional budget of more than RM300 million announced in the Malaysia Madani Budget 2024, specifically aimed at resolving water supply issues.

“The important part is to implement the order and utilise effectively the allocated budget. There are factors contributing to the water supply disruptions, including the existence of old pipes more than 30 years old,” he said.
