Another fine morning with BAKAS unit which headed by PPKP Dian bt.MD.Isa. Before moving on to field trip, here are the objectives of BAKAS.
Specific Objective
To increase environmental cleanliness and the water quality in the rural areas to decrease the incidence of water borne disease.
Main objectives
- to improve the health and cleanliness of the villagers.
- to reduce incidence of communicable diseases.
- to educate the villagers the importance of a clean environment, clean water supply & sanitation
Moving on to field trip, we started at 9.30am to Kg Pulau Timbul, a few kilometres away from our district health office. PPKP Dian guided us to the kampung with her "big car" where we were astonished by her fast driving skills.
In the village, we had the opportunity to see the sanitary latrine and solid waste disposal system and BAKAS unit briefed us how the system works and role of BAKAS to provide them proper facilities.
Proper sanitary latrine in the form of “tandas curah” .Each toilet costs about RM 350.
Solid waste disposal system which costs about RM250.
Later we left to Kg Natoi to see water waste disposal system which built more properly by the contract workers.
Water waste disposal system. The budget is about Rm350
Remainig solids after the waste water goes into kok.
More proper water waste disposal system
Finally we headed to Hutan Terabal to observe water well system with hand pump which built about 25 years ago. Unfortunately it wasn't in use because JKR has started to build piping system connecting to the villagers house.
The session ended at 12 noon. Time to search for tantalizing food for lunch! See you all in another session.
