RM94 million flood damage recorded by Works Ministry in 2024
MARANG: The Works Ministry (KKR) has recorded RM94.17 million in damages caused by floods in 2024, primarily affecting road infrastructure. Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi confirmed that most repairs in flood-hit states, including Terengganu (RM22.13 million), Kelantan (RM20.38 million), and Perak (RM33.4 million), have been completed. 'This demonstrates the government's commitment to assisting areas impacted by the Northeast Monsoon (MTL) and recent floods. Necessary repairs have been carried out,' Nanta told reporters after inspecting the Marang bridge upgrading project. He added that the ministry is preparing for the upcoming MTL season, expected later this year. A Disaster Operations Room has been set up to monitor and respond to flood-related infrastructure complaints. 'This operations room operates year-round, but we will intensify efforts during the MTL period to ensure nationwide coverage,' Nanta explained. Meanwhile, Terengganu Infrastructure, Utilities and Rural Development Committee chairman Datuk Hanafiah Mat noted that nearly 90 per cent of flood-damaged roads in the state have been repaired by the federal government through KKR. 'Only one slope road in Bukit Besi, Dungun, remains pending repair, with the tender expected in two months. The rest are fully restored,' Hanafiah said, expressing gratitude to the federal government and Nanta for overseeing the restoration efforts. - Bernama

Works Ministry Records RM94 Mln In 2024 Flood Damage
MARANG, July 14 (Bernama) -- The Works Ministry (KKR) recorded RM94.17 million in damage caused by floods in 2024, mostly involving infrastructure such as roads. Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said most of the infrastructure damaged by last year's floods has been repaired, including in Terengganu (RM22.13 million), Kelantan (RM20.38 million) and Perak (RM33.4 million). 'This shows that the government is always concerned about areas affected by the Northeast Monsoon (MTL) and recent floods. We have extended assistance, and whatever needed repairs have been fixed,' he told reporters after inspecting the new Marang bridge upgrading project today. He added that the ministry is also prepared for the upcoming MTL expected at the end of this year. Among the preparations in place is a Disaster Operations Room to receive information and respond to complaints about flood-related infrastructure damage. 'This operations room is open year-round, but during the MTL season, we will intensify its activities. We will monitor all affected areas nationwide,' he said. Meanwhile, Terengganu Infrastructure, Utilities and Rural Development Committee chairman Datuk Hanafiah Mat said nearly 90 per cent of roads in the state damaged by last year's floods have been repaired by the federal government through KKR. 'Only one road has yet to be repaired — a slope road in Bukit Besi (in Dungun). I understand the tender for that repair work will be issued in two months. All the rest are in good shape,' he said. He also expressed his appreciation to the federal government, particularly KKR, for carrying out the repairs and thanked Nanta for personally inspecting the progress of flood-affected infrastructure restoration.
