Clean-up in flood-ravaged Taman Sri Muda almost done, says Shah Alam mayor
SHAH ALAM, Jan 8 — Taman Sri Muda in Section 25 here is almost fully cleaned up, with the exception of some drains and alleyways, according to Shah Alam mayor Datuk Zamani Ahmad Mansor.
“The back lanes are those that can’t be accessed by lorries, that is where we will be bringing the rubbish out to be placed in bins,” he said, before the Post Flood Mega Cleaning Programme commenced at Taman Sri Muda in Shah Alam today.The clean-up effort today involved 1,400 volunteers and 600 workers as well as more than a hundred machines and specialised vehicles — including water tanks, water jets and open tipper trucks.
Workers and volunteers were seen scooping up piles of rubbish, while locals took advantage of the presence of the heavy machinery to get rid of any remaining rubbish and dirt from their homes.
