PAPAR, June 2 — Cloud seeding needs to be done immediately in Sabah to induce rainfall for water levels at the state’s water treatment plants to be increased.

“I am not going to downplay this. The water supply situation in Sabah is at a critical level and the south-west monsoon phenomenon this time will make it even more critical. He said as an immediate measure, water tanker lorries have been despatched to public facilities such as village mosques and community halls.

“We are trying to minimise certain things, so we need an additional RM67 million from the original cost of RM312 million...so the cost required now is almost RM400 million due to the changed scope and the increase in the price of materials....” he said. “We have no choice. The construction of dams for example. If it is not decided now, then they cannot be completed within a year or two. It takes a minimum of 60 months at least,” he said.
