KUCHING: Padawan Municipal Council chairman Lo Khere Chiang recently urged residents in Padawan to follow the rules getting proper approval before extending their houses.

Lo, who is also State Assemblyman for Batu Kitang, was at Jalan Tai Shin Jar here to look at the damages caused by a freak weather condition on Wednesday, said everyone must be careful when doing extension as the weather is getting unpredictable these days.

He said many houses in the area had their roofs blown off, cables broken and there was blackout in some areas.

Pointing out that without proper designs or approval, the illegal extension would endanger lives and damage properties.

He thanked the agencies of Bomba, Sesco, TM, Police and JPAM, and especially the Neighbourhood ​Watch Committee (KRT)​ for assisting the victims of the houses damaged by the thunderstorm.
