Flood-hit villagers hope deepening of Sungai Tiram will reduce danger


Azizul says Kampung Paya Redan was the first village rescuers would head to during flooding.

VILLAGERS living beside Sungai Tiram near Ulu Tiram are hoping that efforts to deepen the river will reduce the risk of major floods during the monsoon season this year.

Tiram assemblyman Azizul Bachok said one of the badly affected locations was Kampung Paya Redan that was cut off after the river water rose to a dangerous level in March.
