Prime minister Anwar Ibrahim has announced at today’s 13th Malaysia Plan or Rancangan Malaysia Ketiga Belas (RMK13) tabling that over RM20 billion will be allocated for 103 flood mitigation projects (RTB) nationwide, including upgrading the early flood warning system to be AI-based.
The RTB locations include Selangor’s Sungai Langat and Sungai Buloh, Kelantan’s Sungai Golok, Negeri Sembilan’s Sungai Gemencheh, Tampin, Melaka’s Sungai Baru, Johor’s Johor and Muar River Basins, Pahang River Basin and Sarawak’s Kuching City.
A National Climate Change Bill will be gazetted and a National Adaptation Plan will be introduced to strengthen Malaysia’s preparedness for the impacts of climate change, while disaster risk management plans will be included in state structure and local plans to tackle the problem at the urban planning stage.
The government says that by 2030, the RTB is expected to increase around 1,400 sq km of land from the effects of flooding and shield one million people from the annual ravages of floodwaters.
The works ministry recently revealed that floods caused RM94.17 million in infrastructure damage (mostly roads) last year, and that’s before one even considers the unquantifiable impact on lives and livelihoods.

We need AI based traffic lights in Penang. It’s silly waiting 4 minutes for nothing. That’s why many bikers run the red lights.
AI has been proven to be unreliable and often giving wrong or fake results and here PH Gomen fully trusting their policy with AI? No wonder this gomen thinks they still has majority support.
The king of fake news Gomen trusting their own fake news.
Mana tau when real flood happens. AI will tell you ‘System Offline, please restart server’ or ‘Server Down or ‘System is updating, please try again next week’ XD
