Six tube wells will be built to overcome water supply problems at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) using the RM3 million announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim in May last year.
Shahelmey, who is also Sabah works minister, said the project's final piping work is expected to be completed by the end of this month before additional clean water from the plant can be supplied.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has questioned what has happened with the RM3 million allocation approved by him last year to resolve the long-standing water woes at Universiti Malaysia Sabah, as students continue to face similar problems at present.
