UUM No Water

Haiz.. for few days most residential halls in University Utara Malaysia (UUM) were infected with no water supplies.. So far, I knew DPP MAS, TNB, Proton, EON, Bank Rakyat, and SME  Bank were all facing with this situation..

Things became worst when we have to queue up to take water.. With just one water tab available to be shared by one block residents.. = furious =

We had no choice but to use the fire hydrant to support our water usage.. Now, the water pressure was very low until we had no other choice anymore..

Outside my residential hall has a water tab which is being used by anonymous to fill up the whole truck of water containers with fresh water..

Not just one truck was involved..!! Almost 3 or more trucks were dispatched to fill up the water containers daily.. I am not sure what's the purpose of doing so.. Water stealer.. maybe??

But from what I know was this water tab had water supplies while ours in the residential hall were all dried up.. haiz..

Please take quick action to solve this situation.. It's going to tarnish the university name..!!
