SHAH ALAM, April 27 — The Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) is finalising long-term solutions to prevent the recurrence of the Taman Seri Alam water retention bund collapse and to ensure the safety of residents.
Selangor Infrastructure and Agriculture Committee chairman Datuk Izham Hashim said that the engagement process for the long-term solution was carried out in collaboration with the engineering consultant, developer, and representatives from the residents’ association.
“The initiative aims to ensure that any solution takes into account both the technical and social aspects as well as the humanitarian needs of the local residents.”
“The government expects the final solution to be implemented by the third quarter of 2025, ahead of the start of the northeast monsoon season,” he said in a statement yesterday.
He added that several immediate measures, including desilting works and repositioning the trash rake in the retention pond, had been identified for implementation this week.
Izham said that the state government was fully aware of the concerns raised by local residents regarding the safety of the retention pond, particularly during the unpredictable rainy season.
“The developer has carried out temporary repairs to the damaged pond wall structure. Based on current observations, the structure is now able to accommodate normal water flow.”
“Immediately after the incident, the Kuala Selangor Municipal Council, together with KDEB Waste Management Sdn Bhd, carried out cleaning work in the affected area,” he said.
Izham said that the state government understood the residents’ concerns and would ensure that all mitigation measures and improvement works were carried out in accordance with the set safety standards.
A total of 35 homes in Taman Seri Alam, Sungai Buloh, were affected when the water retention bund collapsed at 6am on April 24.
This was the third time the bund had collapsed, following the first incident in 2014 and the second incident on December 29 last year, which affected 200 homes in the same area. — Bernama

Letupan paip gas : Hampir sebulan berlalu, penduduk Kg. Kuala Sg. Baru masih menanti jawapan

SUBANG JAYA: Hampir sebulan berlalu sejak insiden letupan gas menggegarkan Putra Heights, namun bagi ramai penduduk terjejas, bencana itu masih belum berakhir.
Nasib mengenai kediaman mereka yang rosak akibat letupan pada 1 April lalu masih belum diketahui, dengan ramai yang terus sabar menanti jawapan daripada pihak berwajib.
Bagi pemilik rumah di Kampung Kuala Sungai Baru, Ahmad Baharudin Amir, ketidaktentuan mengenai proses pemulihan rumah menambah tekanan kepada mereka yang terjejas.
“Kita nak tahu kepastian sebab rumah yang kita duduki rosak. Nak baik-pulih macam mana ?.
“Adakah perlu melalui kaedah tertentu, atau kontraktor daripada kerajaan yang akan uruskan? Sekurang-kurangnya ada orang datang untuk menilai kerosakan, supaya semua orang dapat pembelaan yang adil. Kita bukan minta lebih pun,” katanya ketika ditemui Buletin Tv3.
Dia turut memaklumkan, satu pertemuan bersama pihak bertanggungjawab dijadualkan berlangsung Khamis lepas, namun sehingga kini tiada sebarang perkembangan dimaklumkan.
Lebih menggusarkan beliau, hujan lebat yang turun hampir setiap petang mempercepatkan lagi kerosakan dalam rumah, dan sekiranya dibiarkan berlarutan, ia mungkin mengakibatkan struktur rumah lebih teruk terjejas.
Tambahnya lagi, kediaman sementara yang diduduki kini terlalu sempit untuk keluarganya yang besar. Sehubungan itu, penjelasan rasmi daripada pihak berwajib sewajarnya diberikan bagi menoktahkan segala keluh-kesah.
Sementara itu, bagi penyewa, Mohamad Amirul Fitri, dia berharap rintihan penduduk yang terjejas tidak diendahkan. Katanya, mereka tidak menuntut lebih, hanya sekadar peluang untuk membina semula kehidupan yang musnah.
“Apa yang jadi memang sudah terjadi. Kami berharap agar pihak berwajib betul-betul membantu kami semua untuk meneruskan hidup bermula dari kosong,” ujarnya.
PETALING JAYA:Seventy families affected by the Putra Heights gas pipeline fire have been provided with RM6,000 in aid from the Selangor government to cover three months’ rent.
State housing and culture committee chairman Borhan Aman Shah said the money was transferred directly into the victims’ accounts by the Selangor Housing and Property Board, Bernama reported.
“Menteri besar Amirudin Shari instructed that the aid be deposited directly into their accounts.
“The assistance, totalling RM6,000 for three months, has been transferred to about 70 families so far through the board,” he was quoted as saying.
The number of recipients is expected to increase next week .
Amirudin had previously said 396 heads of households affected by the Putra Heights fire would receive aid for six months’ rent.
The fire on April 1 wrecked 81 homes, with structural damage exceeding 40%.
Another 81 homes were partially damaged, 57 affected but not burned, while 218 homes remained unaffected, including those in Kampung Tengah, Puchong.
