KUANTAN, Dec 10 — The Pahang government has been urged to consider providing rental assistance to residents of Block C of the Puncak Arabella Apartments in Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands, who were affected by the landslide incident near their homes on November 28.
Ho Chi Yang (PH-Tanah Rata) said nine families involving 39 individuals are still housed at the temporary evacuation centre (PPS).
“Therefore, I hope that rental assistance be provided to the affected residents while they wait for slope repair works to be completed,” he said during the debate on the Pahang Budget 2026 at the State Assembly sitting at Wisma Sri Pahang today.
Previously, the Cameron Highlands District Disaster Management Committee reported that 24 housing units involving 91 residents from Block C were ordered to evacuate to the PPS at the Puncak Arabella Hall due to safety concerns.
At the same time, Ho said incidents such as this highlight the need to expand the installation of landslide early warning systems, particularly in residential areas in Cameron Highlands.
“For slopes located in residential areas, I urge that a dedicated allocation be provided by either the federal or state government, particularly to local authorities (PBTs), to install landslide early warning systems in high-risk neighbourhoods,” he said.
In the same debate, Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Johari Hussain (BN-Tioman) also called for urgent state intervention to address the severe coastal erosion caused by strong waves that recently struck Kampung Kuala Pontian.
He said the incident had endangered residents and damaged infrastructure, including 10 chalets, two houses and a restaurant.
As such, he urged the relevant authorities to take immediate action to address the issue, including considering an allocation of between RM500,000 and RM1 million to build a wave-retaining wall or another suitable protective structure.
The sitting continues today. — Bernama
KUALA SELANGOR: Penduduk kecewa Rumah Selangorku dekat Taman Saujana Aman, Ijok, di sini yang dibeli dan diduduki sebenarnya terletak di kawasan risiko banjir.
Menurut seorang penduduk yang juga warga emas, Hamidah Baharum, 66, tapak perumahan yang dibina lebih rendah menyebabkan kawasan yang didiami kerap dilanda banjir, beberapa tahun ini.
“Kami seolah-olah sudah menjadi sebahagian daripada sungai. Kawasan ini dulu pernah banjir semasa dibina. Jadi saya tanya kepada Majlis Perbandaran Kuala Selangor (MPKS), bagaimana mereka boleh beri kelulusan untuk bina rumah-rumah di kawasan ini?
“Jalan raya di hadapan itu tinggi, rumah-rumah lain tinggi. Kami di bawah, kami yang menjadi mangsa,” katanya ketika ditemui selepas lawatan ke taman perumahan tersebut bersama Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri Jeram, Datuk Harrison Hassan.
Seorang lagi penduduk, Suhainida Samsudin, 33, berkata, kebanyakan penduduk yang membeli rumah di sini tidak dimaklumkan bahawa perumahan itu dibina berdekatan dengan sungai dan mempunyai sejarah banjir.
Katanya, mereka mahukan penyelesaian jangka panjang dan bukan lagi pembaikan sementara.
“Apabila ditanya, wakil agensi kata mungkin ‘terkilaf’. Kalau satu projek terkilaf, mungkin boleh faham.
“Tetapi di belakang juga ada projek baru, tidak mungkin terkilaf sehingga tiga kali. Setiap kali banjir, bantuan wang bukanlah perkara yang kami perlukan. Kami perlukan penyelesaian jangka panjang.
“Kami trauma. Setiap kali banjir kami perlu beli perabot baru. Sehinggakan pihak insurans sudah tidak mahu menanggung kerugian kami lagi,” luahnya.
Sementara itu, ADUN Jeram, Datuk Harrison Hassan berkata, pihaknya bersama MPKS dan Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS) bersetuju melaksanakan pembaikan jangka pendek sementara menunggu projek Rancangan Tebatan Banjir (RTB) yang dijangka siap tahun hadapan.
Katanya, antara pembaikan yang mampu dilakukan ialah meningkatkan tembok konkrit, membaik pulih benteng tanah dan sistem perparitan yang menjadi penyumbang utama masalah banjir berulang.
“Kerja-kerja jangka pendek ini akan bermula awal bulan hadapan dan dijangka mengambil masa kira-kira sebulan untuk disiapkan.
“Projek RTB yang sedang dijalankan sejak 2023 merupakan penyelesaian jangka panjang untuk mengurangkan risiko banjir di kawasan ini. Dengan adanya pembaikan sementara ini, saya harap penduduk dapat menghadapi musim hujan akan datang dengan lebih selamat,” ujarnya. – UTUSAN
MIRI (Dec 10): The Public Works Department (JKR) will begin repair works on the Niah–Simpang Ngu stretch of the Q283 road, which was cut off following severe flooding on Tuesday morning.
JKR Divisional Engineer Stephen Ung said an excavator is being transported to the affected site on Wednesday, noting that mobilisation requires a longer detour via Bekenu before entering Batu Niah road through the Pan Borneo Highway.
“The temporary culvert size of 1.8m high-density polyethylene (HDPE) has been confirmed, and the transporter is now arranging collection from the depot for the proposed installation of a temporary 1.8m twin HDPE culvert at Q283 Batu Niah Feeder Road CH1+090,” he said in a statement.
Ung added that concrete barriers will be installed at the site to replace the existing plastic barriers, to prevent them from being moved by road users or members of the public.
He said JKR has also issued road closure notifications through its social media platforms.
The affected stretch is believed to be the worst hit by flooding early Tuesday, following continuous heavy rain since Monday evening.
The severed road left many vehicle users and members of the public stranded, forcing them to take alternative routes.
