Dear ________________,

________________________________________________________ Subject Reference

I am writing on behalf of the residents of Bandar Baru Bukit Mentok, Kemaman. We wish to complain about the
poor drainage system in our residential area due to inefficient garbage disposal.
2. For the past three months, rubbish has not been collected regularly. The waste disposal truck only comes
once a week. The uncollected garbage has attracted not only flies and mosquitos but also stray dogs. These stray
animals scatter the rubbish and make the roads dirty and smelly. Furthermore, plastic bags of rubbish eventually
end up in the drains and block water from flowing rapidly.
3. These blocked drains have caused flash floods in our housing area. When there is heavy rain, water
overflows from the clogged drain and enters houses. The residents are very frustrated and unhappy eith the
situations as their daily routins have been affected.
4. We would appreciate if if the municipal council collects rubbish according to schedule. This will definitely
stop the flash floods from happening in our housing area.
