Johor government is hoping the RM12mil allocation from Federal Government to village chiefs in Budget 2024 will be channelled soon so that they can be better prepared for the monsoon season.

Johor climate change and disaster management committee member Datuk Zulkurnain Kamisan said there were more than 400km of trenches (parit) in Batu Pahat alone which were in need of constant maintenance.
