Mohd Fauzi wants agencies to ensure water suction pumps are in working order.
DRAINAGE network in Taman Bukit Kemuning have been desilted to maximise water capacity, which will improve water flow and prevent flooding in the neighbourhood.
Shah Alam mayor Datuk Mohd Fauzi Mohd Yatim said Shah Alam City Council (MBSA) stepped up coordination with agencies dealing with drainage networks and water suction pumps.
“The council has told the agencies to clean up the drainage networks and ensure water suction pumps under their purview are in working order,” he said after the city council’s full board meeting at Wisma MBSA in Shah Alam, Selangor.
A water pump that was supposed to channel rainwater out of the area was reported to have failed, resulting in flooding in several areas from Section 25 to Section 36 on June 20 after heavy rain.
On MBSA’s Golden Parking initiative introduced in conjunction with the city’s 25th anniversary, Mohd Fauzi said only 1,150 seniors age 60 and above out of 1,305 applicants were selected.
“Applicants must be a ratepayer without outstanding assessment tax payments, and the applicant’s residence and vehicle must be registered under the same name.
“Only one car can be registered for the free parking benefit via the Smart Selangor Parking system or Flexi Parking,” he added.
Mohd Fauzi said unsuccessful applications were due to having outstanding assessment tax, unpaid compounds or MBSA traffic fines.
“All these must be settled before reapplying for the initiative,” the mayor said.
He said over 20,000 seniors living in Selangor’s capital city were eligible for MBSA’s free parking initiative.
The Golden Parking, valid for two years, aimed to make the city more inclusive to the elderly and was a gesture of appreciation for their contribution to the community.
Applications need to be renewed every two years.
Application form for the initiative can be downloaded from the MBSA portal at www.mbsa.gov.my or drop by the Revenue Management Section, Finance Department at Level 21, Wisma MBSA, Shah Alam.
