It's been close to two months now since SYABAS did the water rationing in most of the major housing areas in Selangor and Klang Valley. And it's been nothing but a disaster to all of us. With the two days with and without water schedule has put us all in an emotional situation whereby we have to outsource our water supply elsewhere. And it's tiring! Tired of having to go out and get out water supply, re-filling our water tank just to make sure that we have enough supplies for the upcoming two days of no water.
Ini betul-betul menguji tahap kesabaran diri sendiri.
Rumah dah jadi tunggang langgang sebab there were times when the water just couldn't re-fill the house water tank and that, we have to depend solely on the direct water supply. The downside of the direct water supply is that often, they were in yellowish in color. Means, the water that is coming into our house is not the clean water even after being filtered. Imagine if we do not have the water filter, memang kuning habis lah.
Our routine has changed 180 degrees. Luckily, mom's school memang ada air. Jadi, every night without fail we will go to her school to mandi. Bayangkan, balik kerja penat-penat sampai rumah pukul 9pm pastu bergegas salin baju sebab nak pergi mandi and tadah air bersih. And on weekends, memang lagi meriahlah kerja mencari air.
Laundry, memang tak payah cakap. Nak kena tunggu air ada baru boleh basuh kalau tak mandi sebaldi seorang pun belum tentu cukup.
Well, for people like me (and my mum and sister), having limited of water supply is not really a problem as we practices having bath once a day - iaitu di waktu pagi sebelum pergi kerja (wajib). Ye, kami memang busuk begitu. But not for people like my husband and dad who take bath more than four times a day. I just don't understand why they need to take bath that much in a day (orang busuk memang tak faham keperluan untuk mandi, LOL). But having a little girl in the house makes it even more difficult. We have to ensure that the water supply is very clean as Iman has a very sensitive skin. There was one time where I washed her clothes using the washing machine (normally, I hand-wash it) and her skin started to grow rashes. Kesian dia. It took her more than a week to get the rashes off her body. Nasib baik tak gatal teruk or else, dah berlarian anak kami ke hospital.
The latest news on water rationing is that they are going to extend it till July which is until Raya. They can't be serious about this, right? How can they do this to the rakyat?
If this still unchanged and that, they are still insisted in extending the water rationing until July, I seriously don't know what to say. We have been ruled by stupid inconsiderate people in our country. I wonder where have all the intelligent people gone to.
Oh, and one more thing. I will be very disappointed if the authority really politicized this issue because this is something that they shouldn't be politicized. Ini adalah keperluan rakyat bukan untuk di-politik-an.
Sekian sahaja coretan dukacita saya. Saya adalah rakyat yang prihatin. Semoga isu ini tidak lagi berpanjangan. Two months is already a long period, I don't think any one of us can stand until July.
