MP: Desilt rivers in Segambut more often

The vacant land beside the Kepong KTM Komuter station walkway was once overgrown with bushes but it has been cleared by KTMB.

Rivers must be desilted more frequently closer to the monsoon season to reduce the risk of flooding in Segambut, Kuala Lumpur.

Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh said the flood-prone areas were impacted most by three rivers, namely Sungai Toba, Sungai Batu and Sungai Kayu Ara.
