FLASH FLOOD IN JALONG TINGGI

 

On the early morning of 14 September 2020  around 5 a.m., Kampung Asap flooded due to long hour rain. Leftover logs blocking the road effected about 1000 Orang Asli folks staying nearby. School children cannot go to school. Adults cannot go to work. Few reports made to Perak Menteri Besar, MACC Perak, JAS Perak and PDRM Sg. Siput regarding the illegal logging activities related to the  mini-hydro project. No actions from the respective authority. 

JAS Perak replied to the previous complaint that there are no logging activities in this area. Where the logs come from if there is no logging nearby? Why the river turn yellowish?

There are many unanswered questions! The authorities owed the Orang Asli in Jalong Tinggi an answer.

 

IBADAH KORBAN

KRT Taman-Taman Muhibbah and Komuniti Muhibbah Sg. Siput has jointly sponsored the 'Ibadah Korban' Taman Muhibbah Jaya. The SOP has strictly adhered during the event. The meat distributed to families around Taman Muhibbah Jaya. It is a local resident initiated event.

DAMAGED ROAD - JALONG TINGGI

The recent rainy season has caused the minor landslide, flash flood and damaged road, especially in Jalong Tinggi. Jalong Tinggi did not have a proper drainage system. The road built across streams and hillside. The 'orang asli' facing these difficulties every rainy season.

In unity, we stand ... the 'orang asli' coming together to rebuild the damaged road while waiting for government assistance

 

CLEANING LINTANG MAKMUR LAKE

The recent rainy season, brought damages to road and flash flood to few areas in Sg. Siput. Taman Lintang Makmur is one of the area affected. The local government has cleaned and deepened the Lintang Makmur lake recently. The beautified lake attracted fishing kaki to fish around. Now the lake can acts as retention pond more efficiently. Hopefully, the flashflood solved.
