Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ) has identified 25 flood-prone areas and nine landslide-risk areas under its jurisdiction.
Deputy mayor Mohd Zulkurnain Che Ali said the flood-prone areas include Bukit Lanchong, Kampung Tengah, Kampung Kenangan, Kampung Sri Aman and Taman Kinrara’s Section 1.
“These risk areas are prone to flash floods or prolonged flooding due to heavy rainfall.
“Areas at risk of landslides and soil movement include Bukit Kuchai, Bandar Puteri Puchong and Taman Tenaga.
“Despite the absence of serious incidents prior to this, we need to take precautions.
“For example, in Taman Wawasan, Puchong, the soil movement in December last year covered nearly two acres (0.80ha),” he said.
Mohd Zulkurnain said 60 premises have been designated as temporary evacuation centres (PPS) including community halls, mosques and schools.
A total of 22 are located in Seri Kembangan, 15 in Kinrara, 10 in Subang Jaya, nine in Serdang, and two each in Batu Tiga and Kota Kemuning.
MBSJ’s Skuad Pantas, comprising 51 members, is on standby to carry out disaster relief operations when needed.
The workshop was a collaboration between MBSJ, the Fire and Rescue Department, the police and other government agencies. Also present were Seri Serdang assemblyman Abbas Salimmi Che Azmi, Seri Kembangan assemblyman Wong Siew Ki and Serdang OCPD Asst Comm AA Anbalagan. — By MEGAT SYAHAR
