About RM35,000 has been spent to build a concrete structure and handrails around a monsoon drain in Taman Pelangi, Johor Baru, to prevent flash floods and accidents involving school students.

Johor Baru City Council (MBJB) Stulang zone councillor Bong Seng Heng said a male student fell into the drain and sustained minor injuries in 2022 because murky waters had totally covered the road and drains during a flash flood.
