A general view of Sungai Pinang.
IN an effort to reduce flash floods in the state, more than half a billion ringgit has been spent on flood mitigation works and infrastructure in Penang since 2013.
Penang works, utilities and flood mitigation committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari said the funds were derived from the Drainage Contribution Fund, a mandatory charge imposed on property developments in the state.
