We’ve built something solid, and I’m scared that if I tell him about my past infidelity, it might change the way he sees me.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Works Ministry has established guidelines for installing utilities along federal roads to prevent land subsidence incidents caused by leaking pipes, the Dewan Rakyat was told.

"Periodic monitoring and maintenance are carried out by the concession company appointed by the ministry to ensure the road and the drainage system are in good condition. The Standard Operating Procedure requires reporting any drainage system damage and taking appropriate repair actions. He said this in response to a question from V. Ganabatirau about the ministry’s plans to prevent sinkhole incidents in high-risk areas, especially in Klang, Selangor.

According to him, sinkhole incidents were more likely to occur in areas underlain by limestone, while land subsidence could result from several factors, including natural causes or human activities.
