DAMAGED ROAD - Perkampungan OA

 

Due to heavy rain for the past few days, most of the rural roads are badly damaged. The only road to Kampung Asap, Jalong Tinggi has been wash-out during heavy rain on 22 May 2017 evening. It has affected more than 600 families. Application for road repair has been submitted few times to YAB MB Perak, YB Rural Development Minister as well as the Pengarah JAKOA Perak, however, no envy from all parties. The Sungai Siput MP and Jalong ADUN have no interest in taking care of these indigenous people since 2008.

I have passed the message and urgency to the Lintang ADUN, who is the BN-Sungai Siput Division Chairman as well as the Sungai Siput Parliamentary and Jalong Constituency co-ordinator. 

SUNGAI SIPUT FLASH FLOOD

Flash flood in Sg. Siput  town on 26.4.2017 evening

Flash flood is a normal phenomena in certain parts of Sungai Siput for past years! Sungai Siput town (after PETRON), entrance to Kg. Bahagia, Taman Shangri-La and Kg. Veersamy are the areas affected. 

Flash flood happened in Sungai Siput due to logging activities in the nearby forest - K/B Sg. Buloh recently. The rain brings along laterite from the hill which silted the river. No proper maintenance of the rivers e.g. widening and deepening. Human factor is the other cause of the flash flood too. 

Many ponds has been filled up for housing purposes, retention ponds are not proper maintain, no monitoring of water level in Taman Shangri-La and Lintang Makmur pond and lack of open space for temporary water storing are the other factors causes the flash flood.  

TAMAN LINTANG MAKMUR FLASH FLOOD

 

Flash flood occur in Taman Lintang Makmur, Sungai Siput for the first time in 9 years. The flash flood is due to overflow of the Lintang Makmur pond which act as the retention pond. The water level in Lintang Makmur pond has been above normal level for the past 3 weeks.
