PETALING JAYA: Residents and stakeholders here are urging the Federal and Selangor governments not to reverse the decision to scrap the controversial PJD Link expressway.
SHAH ALAM: The flood situation across the country, especially in Kelantan and Terengganu, is deeply concerning as it is worse than in 2014, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
The Deputy Prime Minister said what is more worrying is that the situation may worsen due to the phenomenon of major high tides in the South China Sea and the Straits of Melaka, which will peak during this period. However, he hopes the situation will not escalate following the forecast by the Malaysian Meteorological Department , which predicts a reduction in rainfall surges.
"We are confident that with the reduced rainfall, there will be a drop in the number of victims being transferred to temporary relief centres," he said in a press conference after opening the Barisan Nasional Convention at the Shah Alam Convention Centre on Sunday . Also present were Barisan Nasional secretary-general Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, Selangor BN chairman Datuk Megat Zulkarnain Omardin and Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari, who is also state Pakatan Harapan chairman.
