KUCHING: Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) has taken proactive steps by covering the gaping manhole at Batu Kawa Night Market using wood.
MPP chairman Lo Khere Chiang said it was a temporarily measure to prevent untoward incident.
“We hope to install a concrete manhole cover in a week from now,” he said via WhatsApp in response to a complaint from Bandar Kuching MP’s special officer Yu Li Wen in an article of a Chinese daily on April 17.
Lo Khere Chiang, who is also Batu Kitang assemblyman, stated that the appointed contractor is still working on the measuring and manufacturing the concrete manhole cover.
