The river, drainage and stream could not hold the volume of water after few hours of rain! Flash flood in a few places around Sungai Siput (U), Perak. I am focusing on Taman Muhibbah Jaya since I am the RT chairman here. It occurred at the junction of Jalan Dato' See Khoon Lim and Jalan Industri Ringan.
Flood occurred previously. The local community association has wrote to the previous Member of Parliament, State Assemblyman, Kuala Kangsar Municipality Council and related government agencies. With the assistance from the ex MP, Dato' Seri Samy Vellu and ex-assemblyman, Dato' Chang Ko Youn, the drainage systems has been upgraded in 2008. All ends up well. No flash flood till recently.
Calls has been made to the councillors, nobody reply or take our calls! Calls made to current assemblywomen, same ... no reaction. I was told that the assemblywomen with 2 BN councillors have visited the place about a month ago but no action taken! If preventive actions taken by the state assemblywomen and the 2 councillors, the flash flood will not occurred!
The causes of flash flood are debris along the drainage and streams not clear, clogged drainage, broken drains not repair and retention pond not functioning. Verbal and written complaints has been made. I have wrote in the blog before.
This has proven that the local government is not functioning effectively, inefficient and unprofessional!
