Kampung Melayu Bukit Batu drainage project ends decade-long flooding woes
KULAI: After enduring years of recurring floods, residents of Kampung Melayu Bukit Batu finally have reason to celebrate with the completion of a 190-metre concrete U-drain. Funded by a RM200,000 allocation, the project aims to resolve long-standing drainage issues that have plagued the low-lying area. Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching confirmed the drain's construction, which began in June, was financed through combined resources from the Ministry of Rural Development and the Ministry of Economy. 'This upgrade directly tackles the flooding that has burdened the community for a decade,' Teo stated during an inspection of the site. Flooding has been a persistent problem, with four incidents recorded this year alone. Residents previously appealed for urgent intervention, citing monthly disruptions since January. Clinic manager Juliana Boonadir, 43, shared her relief: 'We've lost so much to floods—this drain is the solution we've waited for.' Retiree Razman Hamzah, 64, echoed the sentiment, praising the government's responsiveness. 'Floods ruin furniture, especially wood. With this drain, water will recede faster,' he said. - Bernama

Kampung Melayu Bukit Batu Residents Celebrate Completion Of Long-awaited Drainage Project
KULAI, July 26 (Bernama) -- Residents of Kampung Melayu Bukit Batu, who have battled persistent flooding for the past decade, can now breathe easier as the construction of a concrete U-drain has been completed. Kulai Member of Parliament Teo Nie Ching said the 190-metre-long concrete drain, which began construction in June, was funded with an allocation of RM200,000. The project was designed to improve drainage and enhance water flow in the area. "This funding, sourced through my office as the MP for Kulai, comes from both the Ministry of Rural Development (KKDW) and the Ministry of Economy. The upgraded drainage system aims to address the flooding issues that have long troubled the residents here," Teo said after inspecting the completed drain in Kampung Melayu Bukit Batu. The area, which has experienced frequent flooding for the last ten years, faced four floods this year alone due to its low-lying terrain. Earlier this year, in April, residents urged the authorities to take immediate action to address the flash floods, which have become a monthly occurrence since the beginning of the year. Several residents attribute the recurring floods to a poor drainage system, which has disrupted daily life for over 50 households and caused extensive damage to property. Juliana Boonadir, 43, a clinic manager, expressed relief at the completion of the new drainage system, calling it a long-awaited solution. "We've been hoping for a solution to reduce the risk of flooding. Every time the floods hit, so many of our belongings are damaged. While there's help, the losses are still considerable. This year has been the worst—four floods in the first three months alone. This new drain will be a great help," she said. Retiree Razman Hamzah, 64, commended the government for its commitment to addressing local flooding problems, noting that the new drain would help mitigate the damage caused by floods.
