Selangor MB: Long-term flood mitigation plans to be discussed during February retreat
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 8 — Selangor Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari said today that the state government will hold a retreat in February to discuss what can be done to mitigate floods in the state, to avoid the December flood emergency from reoccurring.
Amirudin said that the state will look at all the suggestions it has received, and that the meet will include Selangor Infrastructure and Agriculture Committee chairman Izham Hashim. “We will look at the full picture and the entire framework of flood mitigation. It will not be just a piecemeal solution, but a long-term solution, especially for hotspots like Taman Sri Muda,” he said this morning while attending the Post Flood Mega Cleaning Programme at Taman Sri Muda in Shah Alam today.
