Semalam, ketiga-tiga PPS dibuka bagi menempatkan lebih 370 penduduk terjejas banjir dari Taman Desaru Utama, Kampung Baru Sungai Mas dan Taman Penawar Harmoni, berikutan hujan lebat yang berlaku pada awal pagi semalam.

KUALA LUMPUR: It is up to the respective states to gazette a location under their jurisdiction as flood hot spots, says Nga Kor Ming.
The Housing and Local Government Minister said that under Article 74 of the Federal Constitution, the administration of all land matters comes under the respective states' purview.
"As such, gazetting a flood risk area as a zone that is prohibited from development comes under the states’ jurisdiction.
"The gazetting of the area is to be done by the respective Mentri Besar or Chief Minister based on the status of the land such as whether is under state, federal or private land ownership," Nga said in a written reply to a question raised by Datuk Seri Dr Wee Jeck Seng (BN-Tanjung Piai) in Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Feb 6).
Wee wanted to know the consideration given by the ministry for gazetting an area as flood hot spots and the plans to tighten the laws to restrict land use to minimise flooding.
Nga said that a location could be deemed a high-risk flood area by local authorities if it is hit by floods more than three times in three consecutive years.
"The ministry is only responsible for upgrading irrigation and drainage through the Local Government Department in an area which has been identified by the local councils as a flood hot spot," he added.
He said that several factors, such as the policy and legal impacts, must be considered before an area is gazetted as a flood hot spot by the state.
He added that this is done to gauge the impact on the surrounding area and the local community.
Also considered is the high cost of compensation the state has to bear if the land is privately owned, he said.
Future development plans of the area surrounding the affected area and its impact are also factors taken into account, Nga added.
SOME 7,000-odd households at Jalan Ling Kai Cheng in Sibu, Sarawak and its surrounding areas will soon be safe from flooding.
Pelawan assemblyman Datuk Michael Tiang said his request for a RM2.5mil allocation to raise a road section measuring 780m was approved by the Sarawak government.
The work, he said, would begin soon on the part of the road situated on soft soil. “Jalan Ling Kai Cheng was paralysed for the last few days as no vehicles could use the road.
“It is one of the main roads connecting to the town centre. “It also affected three constituencies – Bawang Assan, Nangka and Palawan.
Tiang said Sarawak had set aside RM22mil for natural disasters.
Of the amount, RM10mil was from the state government and RM12mil was from the Federal Government.
Separately, Tiang who is also Sarawak Deputy Public Health, Housing and Local Government Minister said a request has been put forward by the state Health Department and Sibu Hospital to the Health Ministry to build a new block, staff quarters, oncology and cardiology wards. — By ANDY CHUA
