‘Ipoh could face same problem as Selangor’

IPOH: The extraordinary amount of rainwater during the current monsoon season is worrying as the rainwater retention system in Ipoh is only able to hold up to 200mm of water, says the Ipoh Mayor.

Datuk Rumaizi Baharin said any more than 250mm would put certain areas in the city at risk of flash floods.
