Selangor to review development approvals to ensure flood mitigation measures
MB Amirudin Shari says developers may be required to build temporary water retention facilities, while illegal structures in flood-prone areas will be demolished.
Selangor's Chief Minister Amirudin Shari announced plans to reevaluate development projects in flood-prone areas during a press conference after surveying damage at UiTM's Puncak Alam campus in Kuala Selangor. The review will mandate the construction of temporary water retention facilities to minimize flood risks, reinforcing the government's commitment to proper flood mitigation.
The state will also address substandard construction, illegal operations, and demolish structures in designated water catchment areas or floodplains. Two sites have already been selected for this process. Additionally, the government will consult with relevant authorities to explore options such as raising mosques or relocating them to safer locations.
