SHAH ALAM, Nov 10 - The Selangor Irrigation and Drainage Department (JPS) has called for remedial works, studies, and proposed medium-term flood mitigation measures such as building a floodwall be expedited through cooperation with all relevant parties.
Its director Dato' Mohd Nazri Yasmin emphasised the need to speed up these efforts during a field visit to the Saujana Utama drainage project and retention ponds at Palma Hillpark and Olive Hillpark.
The visit was to assess the progress of ongoing drainage works and inspect the current condition of the retention ponds.
“It was also emphasised that remedial actions, studies, and proposed medium-term solutions, specifically the construction of a floodwall, should be expedited through the cooperation of all relevant parties.
“The visit also focused on issues concerning a drainage crossing culvert at the Saujana Perdana residential area, the need for emergency repairs to a breached embankment at Palma Hillpark, and water overflow from the retention pond at the Seri Alam residential area,” the Selangor JPS said in a Facebook post today.
It also reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening monitoring and taking appropriate measures to reduce flood risk.
