MIRI, 17 Dis: Isu banjir berulang di beberapa kawasan sekitar Senadin, Permyjaya dan Tudan mendapat perhatian serius kerajaan negeri, dengan tindakan penyelarasan melibatkan Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (DID), Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) serta Majlis Bandaraya Miri (MBM).
Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri (ADUN) Senadin Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin, berkata DID telah mengambil tindakan awal dengan melaksanakan kerja pembersihan dan penyelenggaraan di beberapa lokasi yang dikenal pasti sebagai punca aliran air tersekat.
“DID sebenarnya telah mengambil tindakan sejak awal tahun lagi. Beberapa kawasan di bawah penyelenggaraan mereka sudah dibersihkan, termasuk longkang utama dan kolam takungan air di Permyjaya, Desa Senadin, Tudan dan Jalan Datuk Permaisuri,” katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian dalam sidang media selepas Mesyuarat berkenaan Isu Perparitan, Banjir, Jalan Rosak dan Utiliti di sekitar Miri di sini, hari ini.
Tambah beliau lagi, antara kerja yang telah disiapkan termasuk penyelenggaraan sistem saliran di kawasan Permyjaya, Jalan Datuk Permaisuri, Desa Pujut serta beberapa kawasan di Desa Senadin.
Walau bagaimanapun, beliau berkata masih terdapat beberapa lokasi yang memerlukan tindakan lanjut, termasuk kawasan outlet saliran yang dikenal pasti mempunyai halangan akibat pembangunan dan struktur utiliti.
“Pada masa yang sama terdapat juga kawasan lain yang sedikit bermasalah dengan pelepasan saluran keluar. Di mana terdapat tiang talian pengagihan tegangan tinggi oleh Sarawak Energy,” ujarnya lagi.
Sementara itu, beliau turut meminta pihak JKR untuk meneliti masalah saliran di sepanjang lebuhraya Pan Borneo, khususnya membabitkan kes pembuangan sampah haram dan pembetung bersaiz kecil yang menjejaskan aliran air.
Menurut beliau, MBM juga akan memeriksa dan membersihkan semua sistem saliran di bawah seliaannya, terutama di kawasan perumahan yang sering terjejas.
Beliau menegaskan, kerjasama antara DID, JKR dan MBM amat penting bagi mengenal pasti punca sebenar banjir dan memastikan semua kerja pembaikan dapat disiapkan sebelum musim tengkujuh bermula.
Tambahnya, semua agensi terlibat kini berada dalam keadaan siap siaga dan bersedia untuk digerakkan pada bila-bila masa sekiranya berlaku sebarang insiden bencana. – TVS
KUALA LUMPUR: Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi mengingatkan orang ramai supaya kekal berwaspada dan mematuhi arahan pihak berkuasa susulan situasi cuaca tidak menentu akibat Monsun Timur Laut yang sedang melanda negara, khususnya di beberapa negeri Pantai Timur.
Ahmad Zahid yang juga Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pengurusan Bencana Negara berkata, Jabatan Meteorologi Malaysia (METMalaysia) sudah mengeluarkan amaran hujan berterusan dan perkembangan itu perlu diberi perhatian serius oleh semua pihak bagi mengelak sebarang risiko terhadap keselamatan diri serta keluarga.
"Jangan ambil mudah risiko banjir, elakkan meredah air deras dan pastikan aspek keselamatan diutamakan.
"Dapatkan maklumat terkini hanya melalui saluran rasmi seperti METMalaysia dan Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS)," katanya menerusi hantaran di platform X hari ini.
Beliau turut menggesa ibu bapa memantau pergerakan dan aktiviti anak-anak, lebih-lebih lagi ketika musim cuti sekolah yang akan bermula tidak lama lagi bagi mengelak kejadian tidak diingini.
Hal itu, kata Ahmad Zahid termasuk memastikan anak-anak tidak bermain di kawasan berisiko seperti sungai, parit, longkang besar atau kawasan yang dinaiki air kerana kelalaian kecil boleh mengundang tragedi besar.
Selain itu, beliau berkata, ibu bapa digalakkan merancang pergerakan anak-anak dengan teliti jika perlu keluar rumah, terutamanya di kawasan terjejas banjir.
"Keselamatan adalah tanggungjawab bersama. Insya-Allah dengan sikap berhati-hati, keprihatinan dan kerjasama semua pihak, kita dapat mengharungi musim ini dengan lebih selamat," katanya.

KUALA LUMPUR: The public has been reminded to remain vigilant and to comply with instructions from the authorities following unstable weather conditions caused by the Northeast Monsoon currently affecting the country, particularly in the East Coast states.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the Malaysian Meteorological Department (MetMalaysia) has issued continuous rain warnings, and the development must be taken seriously by all parties to avoid any risks to personal and family safety.
"Do not take flood risks lightly, avoid wading through fast-flowing water and ensure that safety aspects are prioritised. Obtain the latest information only through official channels such as MetMalaysia and the Irrigation and Drainage Department (DID)," he said in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) Wednesday (Dec 17).
Meanwhile, he urged parents to monitor their children's movements and activities, especially with the school holidays set to begin soon, to prevent any untoward incidents.
This includes ensuring that children do not play in high-risk areas such as rivers, drains, large culverts or flooded locations, as minor negligence could lead to major tragedies.
In addition, he said parents are encouraged to plan their children's movements carefully if they need to leave home, particularly in flood-affected areas.
"Safety is a shared responsibility. Insya-Allah, with caution, concern and cooperation from all parties, we can get through this season more safely," he said.
At the same time, he also expressed concern for candidates sitting for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examination, which continues until Dec 23, and advised them to remain focused on their examinations while ensuring their personal safety.
