I have spent most of my life in Peninsular Malaysia. Though third world, plumbing works there. Here in northern Borneo, I live in an eight hundred thousand dollar(local currency) building. The only clean water tap head we use is connected to a water storage drum, blue in colour. There is no stop cork switch in between the drum and the tap head. Hence there was no way of repairing the tap unless one switches off the mains and drains the drum completely.
Well, the building is superbly situated in a safe and prosperous area. Electrical supply is relatively stable compared to surrounding areas. Wi Fi signals are better than all our friend's. Whatever we need, we could get it by walking to nearby shops. I did not appreciate these wonderful good points until Movement Restriction Order. For weeks we were house bound. Then the head of household could go out and buy essentials. I was a prisoner freed to walk around all the shops, holding some food purchases. It was wonderful to be free to walk around again.
