Jalong rep: Mindset change needed on flash flood issue


Retention pond at Taman Lintang Makmur is one of the water bodies maintained under the RM1.65mil allocation.

Jalong assemblyman Loh Sze Yee said despite millions spent on flood mitigation projects, flash floods would still continue if people did not change their mindset.
