THE flooding woes in Bandar Tasek Mutiara in Simpang Ampat will be a thing of the past with the implementation of the RM1.9mil flood mitigation project.

State Local Government, Traffic Management and Flood Mitigation Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow praised Palmington Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tambun Indah Land Bhd, for carrying out the project without involving any cost from Seberang Prai Municipal Council (MPSP) ratepayers.
