  • Monthly Global News,
    #KL Flood
    #safety issue

    If China,
    Terus stop work order construction,
    Gather manpower,
    Clean all the longkang and reinstate drainbed immediately.

    Then we monitor and compare the trend, then only plan for future projects.

    Can see all water are muddy,
    Why KL floods always muddy?

    Riverbed nor yet overflow,
    Longkang sumbat due to muddy water?
    Muddy from construction?

        The Colonial Brits were stupid to built a city in flood prone area. If only they built at other places called Kuala Tanah Lapang, then surely no floods.

    DBKL mana?

    Time cukai pintu they are very fast. Time saman parking, time pau shopwoners laju.

    When the flash floods came they are nowhere to be seen.

    Is it too expensive to get portable water pumps that could pump away water from road areas that has clogged drainage?
