GEORGE TOWN: The Sungai Pinang flood mitigation project here is expected to be fully completed by the third quarter of 2027.
Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said the project is currently progressing on schedule, with 24 per cent of the work completed.
Chow said he visited the site today to inspect the construction of the piano weir and monsoon drain structures at Kampung Jawa, which are key components of the project.
“These components stretch from the Jalan Jelutong bridge to the end of the bridge at Jalan Perak.
“Once completed, these structures will help prevent flooding or river overflow in downstream areas, improve water quality as drain water will be channelled directly downstream, and reduce the impact of high tides,” he said in a Facebook post.

KUALA LUMPUR – A thunderstorm that swept across the city this afternoon triggered flash floods and brought down trees in multiple locations, severely affecting traffic flow.
One of the worst-hit areas was Jalan Kuching, where a fallen tree near the junction with Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim blocked most of the lanes heading into the city centre. According to Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) Control and Command Centre (KLCCC), only the far-right lane remains accessible as crews work to clear the debris.
Flash floods were also reported along both directions of Jalan Kuching, particularly near the Segambut roundabout, where rising water levels left only one lane passable.
Elsewhere, a tree fell across Jalan 42/70 in Desa Sri Hartamas, cutting off the stretch between Jalan Puncak Kiara Utama and the Kerinchi Link exit. This was confirmed by Astro Radio Traffic via X (formerly Twitter).
Traffic police and emergency response teams are on the ground to manage the situation, with efforts ongoing to restore access on affected roads.
The Malaysian Meteorological Department had earlier issued a warning for thunderstorms with heavy rain and strong winds across most of the country, forecasting inclement weather until 7pm.
The advisory covered the Klang Valley, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka, Johor, and Pahang, as well as large parts of Kedah, Perak, Terengganu, Sarawak, and Sabah.
According to the Public Info Banjir portal, water levels in the Klang Valley remained within normal range as of this evening. – April 21, 2025
