: The Sabah chapter of the Malaysian Red Crescent has taken proactive steps by installing a temporary water filter system in Sungai Papar, near Kampung Mandalipau, to filter and treat the river water into clean water for use by residents during the drought.

He said water from Sungai Papar filtered using the WASH system will go through three stages of filtration, with samples of the treated water taken by the State Water Department for quality testing, to ensure it meets the set standards and is guaranteed to be safe and clean for consumption. Meanwhile, WASH team leader Azryan Ismail said the Papar District Disaster Management Committee was also satisfied with the initiative implemented by the BSMM team because it can give drought-hit villagers access to clean water.

Commenting further, Papar District Officer Mohd Fuad Abdullah informed that the BSMM team which continued the initiative to treat the water of Sungai Papar-Mandalipau through the WASH method had succeeded in producing 6,360 litres of potable water to be distributed to villagers yesterday.
