: The Kuala Lumpur City Hall has identified 14 more flash flood hotspots around the capital and are taking immediate measures, including speeding up mitigation projects, to overcome the issue.
“Yesterday only one of the 25 hotspots flooded, that means what DBKL has been doing so far has improved in terms of prevention and reducing flood risks. Maimunah, who just took over as mayor on Thursday, said that they have intensified periodic maintenance of the Onsite Stormwater Detention Pond, rivers and main drains especially with the onset of the North East Monsoon as preventive measures, adding that deepening work at the pond was carried out according to current needs and the set schedule, along with upgrading the roadside drainage system.
“We will map out the flood area and not only look for an immediate solution but a medium and long term one as well,” she said, adding that they are proposing new project developers use the Environmentally Friendly Drainage Manual 2.0 and a sustainable urban drainage system like Bio-Ecology Drainage System .
