Residents in Taman Chi Liung, Klang, have voiced frustration over what they described as “cosmetic upgrades” to drainage systems in flood-prone areas, claiming the improvements do little to enhance the network’s actual capacity to manage heavy rainfall and water flow.
When asked regarding the matter on Thursday (April 24), Selangor State Youth, Sports, Entrepreneurship, and Disaster Management Committee chairman Mohd Najwan Halimi said the issue was discussed during the Selangor State Executive Council meeting on Wednesday.
He added that the Mentri Besar has directed all exco members to visit their constituencies and ensure drainage projects in flood hot spots are expedited.

00:00I've received some complaints from residents where the projects to redo the drains but it's more of cosmetic but people are calling for comprehensive drainage improvements. So can you comment about it?
00:16Yesterday in the EXCO meeting, the Dato' Menteri Besar have alerted all EXCO members especially EXCO infrastructure untuk turun dan menyelaraskanlah bersama-sama dengan agensi dan jabatan-jabatan terlibat mempercepatkan projek-projek ataupun perancangan-perancangan terbatan banjir melibatkan kawasan-kawasan log spot.
00:37Dalam mesyuarat EXCO yang semalam memang antara agenda ataupun topik yang dibincangkan dalam mesyuarat EXCO adalah isu banjir ni lah, isu projek-projek tempatan banjir yang masih tidak menunjukkan progres.
00:50Kita memang ada, kita buat perancangan, kita buat pengumuman dan pelaksanaan dari segi perancangan tersebut ada cuma perlukan kena ada kesumbuhan.
00:59Jadi semalam Dato' Menteri Besar telah minta agensi-agensi terlibat supaya mempercepatkan proses dan menyelaraskan kerja-kerja tersebut supaya, apa orang kata, kejadian banjir ni kalau berlaku pun sekurang-kurangnya projek tempatan banjir ni kena jalan.
01:14Maksudnya tak boleh kita ketepikan faktor tersebut. Jadi itu agenda-agenda yang kita bincang semalam lah dan di perangkat kerajaan negeri memang kita akan berikan fokus.
01:24Seterusnya di peringkat jawatan kuasa infrastruktur di bawah YB Izzam akan melihat dan menyelaraskan projek-projek ni supaya dipercepatkan.
01:31So the one that has been like cosmetic kind of improvements will be reviewed?
01:35Kita akan, kita akan lihat semula.
01:37So the PBD has to look into it?
01:38Yes, yes.
01:39So banyak kek projek tempatan banjir yang masih yang kata lewat ke atau?
01:44Saya tak ada angka tu, tapi tu nanti kita boleh rujuk dengan YB Izzam, jawatan kuasa infrastruktur.
01:51Kerana dia ada fikiran betul lah. Tapi mungkin lepas ni kalau saya boleh WhatsApp lah.
01:55Cuma saya tak ada maklumat tu. Dia di bawah untuk projek ataupun infrastruktur tempatan banjir ni,
02:01dia diletakkan di bawah jawatan kuasa infrastruktur negeri Selangor. Di bawah YB Izzam.
02:05Cuma macam saya ni, menguruskan bencana.
02:08Tapi yang menangani projek-projek infra ni, tempatan banjir ni, itu di bawah eksko infrastruktur.
02:21Terima kasih.
