Three rivers in Segambut in need of desilting to prevent overflow during downpours

Sungai Keroh is one of the flood hotspots that has been identified.

AT LEAST three rivers in Segambut, Kuala Lumpur, are in critical condition of overflowing during heavy rains, and desilting works must immediately be carried out.

Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh said that Sungai Keroh, Sungai Toba and Sungai Batu had not been maintained or upgraded consistently, causing water to overrun its banks during periods of prolonged or heavy rains.
