Posted: 13 Jun 2011 12:06 AM PDT

KOTA KINABALU:PKR Supreme Council Member – Dr Roland Chia Ming Shen urged that the Fire and Rescue Services Department apart from installing fire hydrants at villages BUT also to conduct regular maintenance of the existing fire hydrants . He was responding to frequent fire outbreaks in villagers in Sabah – so far twice in Penampang and the 5th time in Kg Titingan in Tawau this year whilst visiting Kg Koidupan , Penampang fire victims recently. The fire destroyed four houses on May 26, leaving five families homeless in Kg. Koidupan, Penampang whilst in Tawau about 100 residents of Block 5, Kampung Titingan, were left homeless when a fire razed their squatter houses late Saturday night. Many concern citizens in Tawau also wondered why there was frequent fire outbreaks in Kg Titingan , Tawau- with the average of one fire outbreak a month. There seemed to be a deliberate attempt to destroy the entire Kg Titingan, Tawau neighbourhood.

The recent outbreaks in Penampang & Tawau has also caused many villagers to suffer total loss of properties and cash. This is due to the houses in close proximity of one another, thus allowing fire to spread quickly to adjacent houses. The other being the existing fire hydrants malfunctioned and did not have water supply thus forcing fire rescuers to source dirty water from the existing drains. It just proves that Malaysia boasts of First Class Infrastructures BUT third class maintenance. There is no point of building more fire hydrants if the authorities concern do not conduct regular check on them. Dr Roland Chia was on the site of one of the malfunctioned fire hydrant in Kg Koidupan, Penampang.

Many villagers when interviewed also express concern that the relevant authorities did not bother to conduct fire drills and fire prevention courses in the villagers. If we had knew the basic fire drills and fire prevention exercise, we may have minimize the extent of damage to our properties- lamented one of the villagers who wished to be remained anonymous.

Dr Roland Chia urged the Federal Ministry of Housing & Local Government where the Fire & Rescue Department comes under – and one of the Deputy Minister is a Sabahan – to seriously go to the ground especially the villagers to check on malfunctioned hydrants. There is no point in giving aids to fire victims, because the aids do not commensurate with the loss of properties on the victims on top of the mental anguish and hardships they had to go through.
