THE repair works for the collapsed retaining wall along Jalan Abang Haji Openg in Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI), Kuala Lumpur, are almost completed.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Hannah Yeoh said the Public Works Department (JKR) was also upgrading the existing infrastructure at the site to increase capability to handle higher rainwater volume.
"The situation now is quite challenging as mud floods tend to happen when it rains there.
"Upcoming rains would become the trial to test the capability of the upgraded infrastructure." she said, noting that the work was near completion.
"I have informed the Works Ministry and the Housing and Local Government Ministry about this," Yeoh said during a press conference after launching the Putrajaya Tuition Mission Programme 2026 at Putrajaya Corporation Complex today. (April 22.)
She added that JKR, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the project contractor were monitoring the situation through the command centre at the site.
The wall near Taman Persekutuan Bukit Kiara is part of an ongoing National Landscape Department project.
It gave way following a downpour on April 18.
DBKL had issued a stop-work order after the incident, to facilitate clean-up operations.
The local authority is also considering introducing stricter guidelines for development works on slopes to better safeguard those living near hillsides.
