RM3mil to tackle high tides


A stitch in time saves nine: Volunteers preparing the sand barriers at Kampung Tok Muda in Kapar, Selangor, to face huge high tides expected to hit the village end of this week.

KUALA LUMPUR: Five states will receive a RM3mil allocation from the Government as part of the short-term mitigation plans to tackle the high-tide phenomenon.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said the money will be used to repair and strengthen the existing bunds in Selangor, Perak, Kedah, Perlis and Penang to face the possible onslaught of high tides until December.
