Worse still, their pleas for the state government to intervene has fallen on deaf ears thus far. ## 'Check out this latte coffee' In a [tweet](https://twitter.com/artfishstudio/status/1568586329407242241) posted by Hafiz D., he expressed his frustration over the never-ending problem of contaminated water supply in Kelantan. He also sarcastically told netizens to come to the state if they wanted to drink branded coffee. > **Free flow and extra slime.
